DeskLodger of the Month - November 2026

Meet Joshua from Williams Lea, our November DeskLodger of the Month! 🌟

From making data exciting and accessible to DJing and music production, there's more to this Hot Desker than spreadsheets!

We caught up with Joshua to chat about favourite DeskLodge spots, staying productive and life outside of work. 🎧🎨

What do you do?

I'm a Data Analytst for Williams Lea. Williams Lea do outsourcing and back office services, mainly for finance and legal sectors. I wind up on all sorts of projects, but I'm typically crafting spreadsheets, databases and reports to support my colleagues!

What is the best thing about your job?

You mean other than getting to work at Desklodge? I have a lot of freedom in my work, tasks are varied, but most of all I love getting to support others by making data exciting and accessible.

How do you stay motivated and productive?

I know it's a cliche, but I love listening to music to help get into a flow. I think I'm also lucky to be in a field that I find engaging, it gives me a lot of natural enthusiasm to complete my work.

Where is your favourite place to work at DeskLodge?

Recently I like working downstairs by reception because the desk space is generous and I can take calls, but I'm also really fond of the book nooks and the whole of the third floor.

What's the most valuable piece of advice you've been given in work/business?

It's not personal advice, but this quote from Brené Brown is very close to my heart especially in relation to work. "Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change."

What do you do in your spare time?

I like drawing doodles, DJing and producing music, and going on walks in the woods.

Describe DeskLodge in 3 words or fewer.

Only three? That's tough. I guess I'd have to go with friendly, stylish and peaceful.
