Crakit – Company Mascot / Approval Manager
Hi, my name is “Crakit”. I am a very much loved member of the Craftbuilt Team. I was fortunate to come to the attention of staff when I was homeless and underweight, but thanks to the love and care of everyone, I have been able to get used to ‘showroom life’. I will be found mostly on my chair – please look closely as I will blend in. I am keen for anything food related and I love a gentle approach, ie not too fast, so that I may let you pat me!
I also like to oversee any trades work in the showroom to ensure it is to Craftbuilt’s standards!
