I have worked hard to be the person I am today and to be where I am. I am resilient, I am driven, and I am fortunate, and I am thankful… but I am not lucky.
My first year in marketing
Exactly one year ago, on the 19th February 2018, I rang a buzzer in the Old Brewery in Bradford-on-Avon marked "Varn".
