I just found out one of my colleagues at work was a very prominent and up and coming Austrian Davis Cup tennis player until a massive Achilles heel injury forced him out of the game for good.

Sad to hear he never made it as a result of his injury but does anyone else have any famous persons within their office.

No names need to be published of course.....

My mate used to work with Debbie McGee's sister.

Don't get much more famous than that.

About six years ago I did some work with Nigel Alderton, the guy responsible for Chuckie Egg. I remember driving back from somewhere with him once, and he asked me to slow down because my driving was scaring him. paperbag

I work with the sister of the guy who drives the car in the advert warning you about being careful not to pull out in front of bikers at junctions. What a claim to fame, eh?

Haven’t actually worked with anyone famous as such but many year’s ago whilst employed by BAA Security at Heathrow Airport I encountered and met a variety of celebrities such as Wolf (from gladiators), a young Lindsay Lohan, the Fiddler himself Michael Jackson, Mel B (spice girls) & Kate Moss!
