1990 was a great date in history for me - I began my career at Ernest Wilson Business Agents (www.ernest-wilson.co.uk). I started my working life at Barclays Bank as a lowly office junior and soon realised that the manager of the bank who had over 30 years with Barclays Bank only drove a Sierra and for me, I had bigger aspirations for this and could not face 30 years of hard work only to reach the lofty heights for a Sierra (no disrespect to Sierra owners!). At 18 years old, the world was my oyster and I was approached by Eve Williamson of Ernest Wilsons who caught me on a bad day and suggested I called in for a chat after work and that chat turned out to change my life. Within 1 month, I had left Barclays and started my long association with Ernest Wilsons starting as a sales negotiator (though I was never given a job role!) and in 1995 gained the title Sales Director which though my role is varied and involves more than sales makes for an interesting working life!
For those of you who do not know, Ernest Wilsons are the largest independant agent specialising in the sales of businesses ranging from £5,000 to £10m
