Meet the Team: Brian Byers (Founder & CEO)
You know Brian. Founder. CEO of Acclaim.
But do you know his work survival snack is Twiglets… and his dream superpower is invisibility? 👀
We asked Brian the questions you actually want to know, the quick, random, oddly revealing ones, and his answers are pure Brian.
Read below to really get to know Brian, Acclaim style.
Q: If you could swap jobs with anyone in the office for a day, who and why?
A: Having started Acclaim 20 years ago with just two people, I think I’ve had a go at every job, so I think I would choose to swap with Ray. Ray retired 15 years ago. That’s one thing I haven’t tried yet. It would just be for a day though!
Q: What’s your “useless” hidden talent?
A: I can name every Formula One World Champion by year since the Championship began in 1950. Truly useless, and not even entertaining!
Q: If the office had a reality show, what would it be called?
A: “Nobody Does it Better”. The theme tune is already written and brings back early memories of James Bond and a white, submersible Lotus Esprit.
Q: What song would play every time you walk into a room?
A: “Should I Stay or Should I Go”. I’m fond of The Clash; it opens with “hello” (albeit in Spanish); and it’s a question everyone should try to be better at answering for themselves.
Q: If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
A: Invisibility. I know what you’re thinking!
Q: What’s the one snack that keeps you alive at work?
A: Twiglets. I’ve been a big fan since I was a child. I used to buy them with my pocket money instead of sweets (well, maybe as well as sweets).
Q: What’s one thing you secretly love about your job?
A: Twiglets. (The things I really love about my job aren’t secret).
