I have worked with Mike for many years now in his capacity as Marketing Manager at BWFC. He is innovative and forward thinking and added creative ideas to the CRM campaigns and the TeamCard loyalty scheme in place at BWFC. The emedia in particular introduced by Mike was highly effective. Mike is a confident and extremely efficient individual who would be a credit to any organisation and is always a pleasure to do business with.
