It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Neil. He is one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic Account managers I've ever worked with. Over the past year he has not only helped reduce our overall costs of Workwear, stationary and catering with in the company. He had the daunting task of sourcing Workwear for all 180 of our shop floor staff, all with different levels of safety requirements. End result were all safely dressed to impress. Thank you Neil for all of your help. I give him 5 out of 5 safety hats.

Neil is one of the most enthusiastic and willing account managers I have come across. His desire to learn and improve on a daily basis set him apart from many in sales, and he is not afraid to take on challenges that stretch his ability and skill set. I would have no hesitation in recommending Neil as an Account Manager, he would be a valuable asset to any sales team.
