Check us out (not like that)! Scan through our photos to find out what the Soul Survivor team look like and hear a little bit about what we all do all day (other than go on Facebook). Some of the comments might not be 100% true.
Oh, and the pictures are us as kids. We're not actually an office full of kids, that would be breaking all kinds of laws concerning children in the work place. If you dare, just click on one of our faces to see what we look like in the year two thousand and ten anno domini.
Ali is great. Not only is she on the Leadership team of Soul Survivor, she also heads up Soul Sista and acts as a conference host at our summer events. She's also now a mum too. You might have heard her do some talking every now and then!
Ally M has the toughest job in the office. She's Mike P's PA, which basically means she ends up doing all sorts from sorting out flights to helping with his Christmas shopping. Without her Mike would crumple in a heap, lose his phone and constantly double book himself.
Andy is originally from California. She has the voice of an angel. She's also a very good cook, with classic dishes including spinach, pesto and pea salad or maple slamon. Mmmm. She's awesome (and getting married soon).
Andy likes theology. He likes it so much he studied it for three years and wrote lots of essays on stuff old bishops from the first century once said. He also loves Beth a lot and likes to speak about theology too.
Beth is hilarious. And good fun too. She likes to sing and play the guitar, which she is very good at. She's also wedded to Andy C. She now has the title of Director of Worship, a bit like Asaph in the Psalms.
Walker! Chris is good. He sorts out the shop, our merch and sometimes goes to the bank to cash cheques (well, that's what he says he does every wednesday afternoon). He keeps his hair short and likes to wind up Owen. 
Former male model, premiership footballer and rock star, Dan now finds a home at Soul Survivor doing all the fun stuff, like writing articles, playing with websites, making pretty pictures and even getting involved in video stuff; Yes, you might recognise his face from...
Emma is a stalwart of the Soul Survivor team being around since 1903. She's done stuff with accounts, teams and now helps head up the conferences with Jane. She's very good at making cakes on people's birthdays and blows her nose louder than anyone we know.
Jane brings a bit of the upper class to the rest of us lower middle types at Soul Survivor. She's from Cornwall, but you'd never tell as she had elocution lessons as a child (so she speaks all proper, right). With Emma she heads up our summer events. Don't mess with her, you wouldn't like her when she's angry.
Jeremy goes by many names (none of which he has given himself). They include J-Dawg, J Dizzle (for shizzle ma nizzle), J-Man, the Big J and Jezza. He's the tallest person by about 2 ft in the office, which is good because he has to sort out our IS systems, which are apparently in the 'cloud'. 
OK, so JC isn't technically a member of the Soul Survivor team, but he does act as a rather important consultant (mainly on a thursday morning during staff prayers). He does have other involvement, though he mainly works from outside the office these days. Suffice to say he has his finger in many other pies.
Juliet is an enigma. She started coming in one day and now just so happens to oversees all of our income generation (which is basically a cooler word than fund raising). She knows about everything, which is a massive help as generally we don't really know what we are doing.
Kim is often found in the kitchen scavenging for food. She makes lots of drinks, especially hot water which doesn't seem that nice to the rest of us. She especially likes it when all the cups in the cupboard are arranged via their aquatic capacity (and in order of height). She is officially Liz's PA, but really that means taking Trea the dog for a walk twice a day. 
Before joining Soul Survivor on a free transfer in December 2008, Laura played the role of Eastenders mum, Honey. Upon getting fed up with life down the old Queen Vic, Laura made her way to Watford in a escapade reminiscent of Dick Wittington's journey to London. She made it in the end and now she does all sorts from sorting out Soul Sista, helping with the summer events to speaking in a Essex accent.
Legend has it that Liz has actually never left the Soul Survivor office. She's in before anyone else, leaves after everyone else and her office has an unmade bed in it. Weird. Other than keeping everyone (especially Mike) on the straight & narrow, Liz is also full time mother to Trea the Dog (not biologically mind). In short, Soul Survivor wouldn't exist without her.
Louise rhymes with cheese which is good as she loves cheese. Her favourite is Roulade (the creamy one with green bits on). Cheese also sounds a bit like teams (not really), but that's even better as Louise is our number one teams person. Outside of the office Louise is actually a superhero in her spare time. Last week she ripped a phone book in two and imprisoned Ming the Merciless, her arch enemy. 
Lorna is lovely. She has also got herself up the duff again so is now on maternity leave, which annoys us greatly as we don't get to see her too much. Before becoming pregnant (again) Lorna was responsible for Soul Action stuff having worked at Tearfund for her entire life (since she was 6). Oh, and She likes a chat.
Liza writes words. She's written a few books which would be nice but she doesn't stop going on and on and on about them. Before she gave up everything to become a Christian she also liked books. Back in the day she sold a mobile phone to David Beckham (yes, the footballer, not another David Beckham). You will never see her without a bottle of water. Never ever.
Mark is from South Africa and he's our Accountant, which means he's a pretty sensible, organised and cheery fellow. He models himself on Burt Reynolds (circa 1978) and once tracked a herd of wildebeest across the South African savannah using only twigs, his wiley sense of direction and a sat nav he picked up at Homebase. A living legend, you should see what he can do with a spreadsheet and budget report, it's wicked.
No-one has any idea who this bloke is, what he does or why he's on this page. Some people say he looks strangely familiar, but we're not sure why. If you recognise him, do let us know. It's a real puzzle.
Natalie comes from a little Island across the sea called Guernsey or something. We reckon she made it all up, except she has a foriegn sounding surname, so there must be some truth to her mysterious yarn. She's the one you'll probably speak to first if you call the office. She also has a special skill... superfast typing with one finger. It's scary.
Owen built the first ever steam train. Unfortunately he was never credited with it's production and has since had to spend his days as an IT man (which basically means telling people who are having issues with their computer that the best cause of action is a restart). He loves iPhones, all things Apple and lemonade.
Raised by wild gibbons off the southern coast of Borneo, Rob gained his super human strength from eating the shoots of the lesser known guava tree. Since coming to the UK as a stowaway on a Pacific cruise ship, Rob has developed an intimate knowledge of sound and visual equipment. He's known as Robby Robby Rob Blob to his closest friends.
Yes! Mr Robbie Thomson is in full effect. This tall chap (8ft 9") is one of the world's best storytellers. Recent examples of such stories include the time he went to Norway for a day, but spent most of his trip actually in Sweeden staring at a duck that had died and then frozen, bottom up, in the ice. You can't make that up. And he doesn't. He lifts heavy things and then puts them down somewhere else in the office. That is his job. 
Is scared of wasps. But most of us are. For a while he would only be photographed in a stripey jumper, but now, a little older and wiser, he has lifted such restrictions. He has a big voice for a little man, which is good as he leads worship a lot. He recently learnt to cook for himself, and since the MacDonalds, Nandos and Subway restaruants of Watford have all gone into administration.
Sarah's great. She's been here forever. She hums a lot when she's happy. She went to school with Kelly from Liberty X, which she tells everyone she knows all the time. One of her special skills is making stuff, which she put to good use a while back, building the Soul Survivor office by hand. 2009/10 sees her in her latest role at Soul Survivor as Communications Manager. Oh, and she fancies Dan, a lot.
Simon has the strength of ten men (ten small children-like men). He once lifted up a car with just one hand, which was lucky as with the other hand he was able to rescue a maiden in distress. An expert with a fork lift, pallet truck and screwdriver, Simon knows the score when it comes to DIY. One year a contractor failed us, but Mr Simon saved the day building the Big Top out of twigs, some old tarpaulin and cellotape. Leg end.
Trea is the office dog. That's it. There's not much more to say really.
