Before taking on our Store Manager role at Hackney, Katie worked at a number of other Balfe&#8217;s stores including Islington, Sutton and Reigate and we were consistently impressed with her work ethic and enthusiasm for the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A roadie outside of work, Katie loves to ride for the escapism it brings &#8211; how you can just forget about everything, enjoy life and explore new places. She&#8217;s currently loving her S type Brompton the most, but her all time favourite bike is her custom built Tifosi SS26 Cosmic with Super Record (A lockdown treat &#8211; because, why not?!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On taking on the Hackney store, Katie said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Taking over the Hackney store has been a dream &#8211; to mix my hobby with my job is the perfect balance to happiness. I love working at Balfe&#8217;s, it was a breath of fresh air after working in a very big corporate company.
