What did you do before you joined the For Everyone Group?

What’s one piece of advice you would give to someone starting out in sales?
“Don’t just randomly send out generic emails; instead, research the company before contacting a potential consumer and base your approach on that.”
What’s your favourite office snack?
“Lotus Biscuits – enough said.”
Tell us something about you that might surprise us.
“I’ve done a few solo parachute jumps as well as abseiling off Stockport town hall for charity.”
