I've had correspondence with Sam while providing voice overs for various IVR systems at Premier Business Audio. Sam has always been polite and prompt.

Daniel Relf

With Sam only being with us a short while, he has picked up all working habits fast and is dedicated to his hard working attitude in all that he does. He is also a great laugh and helps keep work fun for the team. I look forward to seeing him develop as he grows within the company
