Describe yourself in 3 words:

Entrepreneurial – Driven – Quirky

Career to date:

I started my working life doing a morning daily paper-round at the age of 13, and then my career in Sales began working part time in C&A as a Saturday boy whilst also working for Zenith Windows selling the “opportunity” to get free double glazing over the phone. This gave me the appetite for Sales and I then ventured into Estate Agency for several years and after working for a National and Independent Firm in Bedford I then stumbled into Recruitment and 10 years later the rest is history having set up Advancing People in 2009 and Advancing Property in 2011…
