Characters - Ollie

Ollie is Brilliance's only full-time member of staff. She's his receptionist, his PA, and his filing clerk, cleaner, tea lady, and dry cleaning-fetcher. Forget Brilliance's insane schemes, it's Ollie who really runs Brilliance Management (even though her contract still reads "office junior"). She has a passion for music, and it was Ollie who talent-spotted Trexx and Flipside on a night out with the girls. Although she still has to pay lip service to her boss's orders, she'll try and twist his directives into something potentially less disastrous - and chances are he'll never realise anyway.

Ollie has a lot riding on Trexx and Flipside because, despite her apparent confidence, she's never signed or managed a band before. She has something that marks her out as destined for more than the office junior, but she's certainly not a seasoned pro. This is uncharted territory. Much of the time she's flying by the seat of her pants on instinct and sheer determination... but she is the best chance that Wu-Hah Management and Trexx and Flipside will ever have.
