Began career in promotional gift industry in March,1980 as co.founder and director of a promotional gift distributor company. This company traded successfully until it was sold in December, 2009.Co.founder and director of Impression Europe Ltd, a trade only supplier of promotional products, which was established in April, 2004.These two positions have given me the opportunity to gain significant experience at all levels in both distributor & supplier businesses including sales, administration and management.As a consequence I feel it's given me a fairly unique understanding of the way the industry runs and the needs of both distributors and suppliers, from an insiders perspective.
