Joanna said: “Muckle has a reputation as being different, I know people who work here, and they say it’s the best place they’ve ever worked at – and that’s been my experience so far. The staff retention speaks for itself. Most people seem to have been here 10-20 years so Muckle must be doing something right!”

“We’re delighted to have Claire, Siobhain, Joanna and Sarah on board. They’ve already hit the ground running so I’m excited to see what they do in the future.
