‘The people and salary! We work in a great team and the harder we all work, the more money we all make! Mixture of days in and out of the office – we manage our own time. Walking around in London in the rain!’
London Account Manager, Sales at Express Vending
 
‘Having two to three days out of the office on meetings. Cold calling.’

‘Team Atmosphere – We are all great friends. Training – Exceptional, I have very few friends who receive the level of training we do, it’s incredible and regular. Family Culture – The business is still under full ownership by Brian, who started the business 22 years ago. Hierarchy / Management – The business has a very flat structure, meaning all management are easily accessible, and more importantly, approachable. Can Do Attitude / Customer Service – We deliver as we promise, and everyone in the business is passionate about doing so. And the best best best thing…. Money – We are rewarded financially for our achievements, and rewarded well! Long Hours – We work long hours, but we are in Sales, so we want to work long hours! Growing Fast – It’s going to be a challenge for the business to keep the family feel, and culture as we continue to grow as fast as we are! I think the management are up to the challenge though, so look forward to growing with the company!’
