Introducing Willow...

Since her appointment as welfare officer, Pastie the Springer Spaniel has made people happy, healthy and brought a little fun into the office.

Willow a chip off the old block

Willow is one of the three puppies Pastie gave birth to during the summer, and the only girl of the litter. Oggie and Sprocket, her two brothers have new homes now and all puppies are doing extremely well. With Mark and Annthea having to play support roles, the summer has been a busy time in the Fryer household.  

Who would have thought 2020 would be the year of the dog

The companionship and joy pets can bring to people’s lives shouldn’t be under-estimated. Who could have foreseen within months of Pastie joining the Cambs Compressor family, the changes ahead. With millions working from home or furloughed from their jobs, pet ownership has experienced an unrivalled increase, especially dogs. The Cambs Compressor’s team have adapted to the changing environment but one thing which hasn't changed, is the smiles on faces when Pastie's in the office. Now with a second bundle of joy, Willow is learning fast that her role is to make people happy.

Pets remind people to pause and step back

Cambs Compressors are joining a long list of successful companies that have adopted Dogs At Work policies, including Amazon, Google and Ben & Jerry’s. It may seem like an indulgence for sentimental pet owners but it turns out that there’s a strong rationale for having a dog friendly workplace. According to research, pets in the workplace reduce stress and nurture productivity.
