VIZ HAILEY | HEAD OF SECURITY

Viz is responsible for being very handsome and nagging Jo to stop working too late into the evening. He is really good at making you jump out of your skin if someone rings the doorbell.

When people want photography lessons Viz is keen to join in to help photography students see how cool he looks when snapped at high speed.

Apart from water, Viz’s favourite thing is stealing other dog’s tennis balls and ripping them to pieces.
