This was a fantastic and very independant job. I got to meet Alan Sugar at Tropic’s annual conference due to being one of the top sellers in the South West, as well as go to Marrakech on an all-expense paid holiday, Spa trips, Afternoon Tea at the Ritz, London and much more. Although I had a manager to encourage me, I was required to work independantly, often with little or no input and found that I was able to achieve every task that I set for myself.
