Q. What got you started in this industry?
A. I came into this industry from a background in Retail Management and Sales. I had reached a point in that career where I wanted to be in a position to dictate the number of customers I could see rather than be restricted through store footfall. A role in field sales seemed to tick all the right boxes. |
