Stafflex’s Agnes is the office buddy we all need

To mark World Friendship Day this week, Recruiter is featuring man’s (and woman’s) best friend.

Meet Agnes, a whippet who works at Huddersfield-based education, office and industrial staffing specialist Stafflex.

According to the agency, Agnes works in the office all week doing full-time hours and even has a profile on the agency’s website, which says Agnes is “qualified in day napping and the 100m sprint”. The profile goes on: “Agnes supports the whole office with cuddles, treat snaffling and team spirit.”

That’s just the sort of friend you need around the office, we think. Have a great day snaffling, Agnes!
