So, in a moment of madness, I took a job as a salesman, selling clothes to the stores in London. I was the tender age of 21 at the time and I don't think the buyers were used to seeing someone so wet behind the ears, it worked in my favour and I gained lots of experience at a good level very quickly. Since then, although the products have changed, I have always been involved in selling and buying.

Through ski-wear, fashion jewellery, gifts, kitchen ware back to gifts and now trying my hand at food ! We are in just opening an on-line shop selling British food having been here a while there seems to be a gap in the market, but, only time will tell.
