'Speeps' Profiles – Sarah Apps

This week, our newest member of the Speed team gushes a little bit about the rest of us (clever lady) and talks of leeches and beef stew & dumplings.

Who is the person, at Speed, who has made the biggest impression on you this week (for right or wrong reasons)?

I can’t just pick just one person as everyone has been really great and welcoming!!!

What’s the worst thing you ever did on a school exchange trip?

I told my friend there were leeches in the water halfway through a raft race.  She panicked and we all fell in and lost the race.

If you could ask David Beckham one question, what would it be?

I’d ask Becks if I could have a picture with him – with his top off.

When was the last time you broke the law?

I’m too much of a good girl and have never broken the law, apart from speeding and underage drinking but most people have done that! (Not consecutively though)

From ‘first’ impressions, what one word best sums up Speed?

Immense

What is the last thing you cooked that you were proud of?

Beef stew and dumplings.

Love it, hate it . . .

I’m a loud and proud Marmite lover – there’s no better snack than a wedge of cheddar dipped into a jar of luxuriously silky dark Marmite, so you can imagine my glee when I read in today’s Metro that Unilever has produced a Marmite Extra Old, also known as XO. Due to hit the supermarket shelves a week today (March 8), XO is a result of a secret blend maturing for 28 days – four times longer than the original product.

The new recipe has been developed with the help of the Mamarati – a secret group of 40 hardcore fans that have expressed their love for all things Marmite flavoured across a variety of different social media networks.

Other fans of the savoury spread can join the new social media group at www.marmarati.org – a website dedicated to Marmite’s loyal fans. Here you can engage in conversation with fellow Marmite lovers and upload videos, poems and photographs of how best to enjoy the strong tasting spread – the most creative posts win one of 200 commemorative jars.

Marmite is the latest in a long line of brands that are using social media to interact directly with their consumers and they’re doing it well.
