Ulysses |
||
|
||
| Welcome Committee | ||
| Also known as Lulok by his colleagues, Ulysses’ main responsibilities involve welcoming guests and VIPs, protecting the staff and checking there is no food left in the dustbins. Ulysses was born in June 2004 in Lincolnshire and at the young age of 4 months started working at Shorex, testing the patience of his team members by chewing their shoes, scarves and handbags. After several attacks on computer and network cables, Lulok finally settled in his position and got used to welcoming guests rather than harassing them. His education includes performing the high five, spinning, and occasionally responding to his name. Ulysses enjoys eating tuna, long walks, attending board meetings and resting on the office sofa. One could easily mistake him for the official company mascot. | ||
