Meet the Team – Danielle Smith

If you could invite any 4 people to a dinner party who would they be and why?
It would probably be someone really embarrassing like Westlife which I shouldn’t really admit but I guess everyone has their flaws. I guess at least they could provide the entertainment.
What is your best Childhood memory?
My best childhood memory would be spending time with my grandma and sister, we always used to spend new year’s eve together and just sit watching the fireworks on TV being a little girl it always seemed so exciting.
