I worked with Peter Sage, Entrepreneur who took this company from o-million pounds in 3 months with a small management team including one other Marketing Manager (Rob McNeill) a Sales Manager and Financial Director. We had a lot of fun and made lots of money in a very short time. My favorite money making project was the James Bond themed trade show at Earls Court, London - the Alternative Investment show. Our theme was "Licensed to make a killing" and I organized Bond girl models handing out exclusive invitations to "A top secret briefing" where Peter and his sales team did an amazing educational session and signed them up! I'll never forget working with Peter, he taught me so much which I now bring into my own business which he encouraged me to start.
