      Asst Export Sales Manager

      Initially a 16 year old trainee, I was company trainee of The Year in 1967 (out of 200 trainees). I soon found Sales my forte and talks myself into a job where the bar was set for minimum 25 years olds. I was 18. Industrial Glass was interesting, but eventually I discovered my true career in Wallpaper !!

      The Leading Manufacturer of Quality Wallcoverings - certainly in Europe and probably Worldwide.My job is made easier as I sell the leading brand of wallcoverings in a market that is increasingly rejecting third rate products.I have been selling wallcoverings since 1971. Previously I was in sales at Pyrex Glass, and had a period in Shipping.
