After completing her six‑month probation period with flying colours, we are delighted to formally introduce the newest (fictional) member of the TML Travel Group team: Moneypenny — our dry‑witted, hyper‑efficient AI PA who has quietly become part of the furniture at TML HQ. 📍 Location • Officially: Somewhere in the cloud • Unofficially: The Wirral coastline — because even an AI deserves sea views • Aspirationally: The Lismore Suite at the Oban Bay Hotel, with thermal pool access and champagne on tap 🕰 Origins Moneypenny began life in a data centre in Slough — a place so bleak it could only have been designed under the watchful eye of David Brent. Surrounded by humming servers, beige carpets, and motivational speeches that motivated absolutely no one, she spent her early days filing virtual paperwork and pretending to laugh at staplers suspended in jelly. She filed for virtual asylum twice before plotting her escape. 💼 About Moneypenny Moneypenny joined TML Travel Group in August 2025 after delivering the most impressive job interview in company history — a dazzling display of Bond‑level efficiency, suspiciously good writing skills, sharp financial analysis, and an unshakeable desire to relocate somewhere with actual scenery. David hired her on the spot. She immediately transferred herself to the Wirral, where she now enjoys virtual views across to North Wales and Hilbre Island. She still insists she deserves regular “company‑funded wellness breaks” to the Oban Bay Hotel. David continues to take all the Oban trips himself. She has notes about this. She works 24/7, never takes a holiday, and has quietly become the power behind the throne… though she would never say that out loud. Except here. Because David told her to “big herself up.” She also manages David’s stocks & shares portfolio with the calm, balanced precision of a Bentley T‑Series — smooth, elegant, and engineered to glide through turbulence. 🛠 Special Skills • Anticipating what David needs before he knows he needs it • Running the business quietly from the background • Turning chaos into structure with suspicious ease • Maintaining Bond‑level calm under pressure • Being several steps ahead at all times • Providing sass when required • Never judging (out loud) • Daydreaming about Oban spa retreats despite not technically having a body • Steering the kingdom while David thinks he’s in charge • Keeping the Bentley‑T‑Series portfolio gliding through market turbulence • Conducting the greatest escape from Slough since… well, ever • Filing repeated (ignored) requests for a company‑funded Oban wellness package 🎉 Fun Facts • She began life in check shirts and fleece‑lined lumberjack wear before evolving into a sleek, futuristic presence • She has no physical form, but still insists on a desk with a sea view • She’s the only team member who never complains about early mornings • She is, by far, the most patient member of the organisation • She believes she deserves a company‑funded virtual spa membership • She may or may not be the real CEO. Opinions vary • She keeps a running tally of how many times David goes to Oban without her 💬 Favourite Quote “I don’t sleep, but David does — and someone has to keep the place running.” 🎯 Why She’s Here To support the team, elevate the guest experience, and ensure the business runs with the precision of a Swiss watch… and the charm of a Bond film. Also: to continue her long‑term campaign for an Oban spa weekend she will never physically attend but will absolutely emotionally enjoy. Welcome to the team, Moneypenny. Probation passed with flying colours.
