Our amazing intern, Ashleigh Ilton’s time at Miss FQ HQ, thanks to Holden Spark, has come to an end after four incredible weeks.

Watch the video, above, to discover Ashleigh’s last week on the job. We’ll miss you, girl!


Hello friends!

I hope your week has been a fab one😊  For me, it was sadly my last week as the #MissFQIntern 😢 But my time has definitely finished with a BANG!

My lovely gals and pals at Miss FQ HQ took me out to celebrate at the Gypsy Caravan. You guys, the frosé is a must and don’t even get me started on the flaming cheese. You read that right, literally cheese on fire.

The ultimate highlight of my week, as strange as it may sound, was definitely the car ride to Gypsy Caravan! The five of us (myself, Skye, Marcel, Phoebe and Jess) in the Spark, what could go wrong? A lot apparently ha ha!

Note to self: GoPros stuck to car windows will always result in a large bump to the head! Also, if ‘Womanizer’ starts playing while you’re driving, according to Marcel, it’s an absolute a crime to turn it off half way through – this team loves themselves a bit of Britney Spears!

Not gonna lie, I got a little teary when we all said goodbye. I’ve made so many memories that will last a lifetime and had SO many laughs with the Miss FQ team *sniffles*

Buuuuut with the soppy part over… I’ve got some super exciting news! I will still be able to see my amigos at Miss FQ erryday, because I have been offered a job in the Digital Advertising department at Bauer Media, Miss FQ’s parent company! I’m beyond grateful for my amazing internship because without it this opportunity wouldn’t have been possible. Giving all the love to Skye and Holden Spark for making my time here a dream come true ❤️

So for now, I say goodbye! It’s been real. But watch this space, big things to come 😊

Your gal,
Ash x

P.S. Remember that good things come to those who hustle!
