Gemma - Our Market and Member Research Manager
Introduction
Hi, I'm Gemma, Research Manager at Defence Discount Service. My role here is to help better understand members' and partners' needs and wants.
Why did you join Defence Discount Service?
To give back to a wonderful community who help all of us.
What is your favourite company/offer?
I don’t have favourite but, without a doubt, it would be within holidays & travel or food and drink!
What excites you most about Defence Discount Service Community?
I get to connect regularly with the Defence Discount Service community to help shape the future of the company and meet our members' and partners' needs.
What do you get up to outside of work?
I'm a bit of a foodie and enjoy eating out and cooking. I also enjoy spending time with my family and keeping active - I've recently taken up open water swimming and can often be found in the sea or a lake!

Katie - Our Senior Research Executive
Introduction
Hello, I’m Katie, a Research Executive, I am looking forward to hearing from you all and making sure our members voices are heard.
Why did you join Defence Discount Service?
I studied psychology and crime at university and have always been interested in being part of the emergency services in some way. Defence Discount Service is the perfect way to use my skills to give back, and help the people who help us!
What is your favourite company/offer?
I think anything to do with food will be what I use the most.
What excites you most about Defence Discount Service Community?
I think DDS Community is a great platform to really learn what our members want and need. In a time where every penny counts and people are having to prioritise spending, we will be able to see where we can help with offers and savings for our members!
What do you get up to outside of work?
I’m a part time gym enthusiast, when I have the time and the weather is just right I love to go and do strength training (I can’t do cardio…). Apart from that, any excuse to have some cocktails and dance like nobody is watching, even if it’s just in my kitchen!
That's us for now!
We'll all be on hand to hear your ideas, reply to your comments and feedback on what we have been up to so keep your eyes peeled.
Speak to you soon!
