From Project Management to Pawsitive Vibes
Meet iScope’s Furry Team Members Bringing Joy to the Workplace
Founded in 2017, iScope has built a solid reputation for excellence in scoping, project management, structural repair, and welding qualification and training. While iScope’s dedicated team is key to their success, two special members truly make a fluffy impact: Pip and Alfie. These charming Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bull Arab mixes have a remarkable gift for easing nerves, spreading smiles, and fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Pip and Alfie are the perfect pair. Alfie is protective, loyal, and a bit bossy, while Pip is gentle, loving, and unassuming. They were brought into the caring arms of the iScope team—Alfie was bred and purchased locally, while Pip was rescued from the Mackay RSPCA Facebook page. Resembling Alfie’s twin, iScope owners Rachel and Craig Evans couldn't resist her.
While iScope has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere already, the pups play a big role in greeting candidates undergoing weld testing. In an environment where individuals may feel nervous and anxious, the dogs help make people more relaxed, often promoting conversations about their own animals.
Due to the duo’s impact on customers, Rachel Evans said that returning clients are always excited to greet the dogs, “If the dogs aren't there, they’re always asking where they are!”
“The dogs enjoy all the pats they get and promote a more personal conversation between customers and staff,” Rachel said.
iScope’s workshop mascot, Alfie the dog, has even starred in a previous marketing campaign, featuring a fantastic photo of him on a forklift. This lovable pooch has an unusual obsession with lettuce—he’d devour an entire head if given the chance! When he’s not snacking, you can find him lounging at Rachel’s feet, content to stay close.
Pip, on the other hand, loves her bed, which is in the office; she hardly moves from it all day.
If you are looking for your next scoping, project management, structural repair, or welding qualification and training, head to iScope and be welcomed by Alfie and Pip.
