I am originally from the UK – Scotland in fact and was educated in Dundee at the Morgan Academy (happy days).
I left Dundee and moved to England at the age of 17 as job prospects in Scotland were pretty bleak at the time. I worked 4 years as a management trainee for a major chemical company and during this time continued my education through a part-time degree – now that was hard work.
After 4 years I moved on into direct selling – meaning I had a company car and I was on the road.
I’ve had various jobs, mainly in sales and count myself lucky to have worked for some real biggies such as IBM, Xerox, Esselte and Fujitsu – great experience.
I also owned my own IT business for 10 years and since that time have always been “self-employed”.
