I think it makes me a good fit for the role because of the skills and knowledge I gained from doing the diploma but then I also have the face-to-face sales experience for when that is needed.”

Liz, a former pupil of Oulder Hill Community School and Language College, moved to Torquay in 2001 after her mum bought a hotel in the area. Liz then attended Westlands College and studied English Literature, Drama and Sociology.

There is also no doubt that business is picking up and more and more local businesses are looking to find an affordable channel to reach as many local people as possible.

We offer businesses that very opportunity and needed an experienced highly motivated individual to join our team to liaise with local businesses and help them find the right package for their needs.
