Umm...
Errr...
Ha, ha! I don't even know.
Uhh..
Has everyone been asked this question?
Like a buzzing sound, I guess?
Like a bee?
Vvvhhhhhhhh....
That sort of thing.
The sound of electricity?
We'll, take a moment to just hear that.
[Silence]
I think we have it.
Erik Fairbairn, CEO & Founder, Pod Point
I had a vision. I saw that internal combustion engine cars were having a negative effect on the planet.
Travel shouldn't damage the earth and Pod Point was my vehicle to create that vision.
Most people thought that we were completely nuts. Why on earth would I get rid of my internal combustion engine vehicle for an electric one? I just genuinely believed in it, and when you believe in something you know, that can take you a long way. So the amount of charging infrastructure we've got to build to enable a mass adoption of electric vehicles is immense. It’s simultaneously frightening and the most inspiring part of what we do. We've banked with Barclays since we founded the business in 2009 so they've been with us the entire journey.
Dominic McCarthy, Relationship Director, Barclays
The technology and media and telecoms team at Barclays brings a range of industry expertise to our clients like Pod Point. All of our Relationship Directors have an in depth knowledge of the sector which we can bring to our client relationships.
Erik Fairbairn
They've really started to understand our business, even to the extent of spending whole days in the business understanding what we do.
You know, they've become part of the team. So I think the biggest thing I look for in people that work for Pod Point is that I really want passionate, creative people.
The culture here is amazing

It's fun.
It's great to be part of Silicon Roundabout because you are surrounded by loads of innovative tech companies.
It’s lively in the office; certainly it's full of dogs.
Erik Fairbairn
A few of the teams have said "we have got dogs, can we bring them?"
Who am I to say no?
Dominic McCarthy
I'd love to have a dog in the office at Barclays. It's not going to happen.

I dream of a world where all transport doesn't use any fossil fuels so we can drive around completely guilt free we don't have to worry about what's coming out of the tail pipe of our car. It's a silent revolution. Shhhh!!
