My company was to be focussed on attention to detail - at each and every level, so that I could (still do in fact), apply the same principles to my work programs today.
Back then I could be running large multi-country events with thousand of attendees - or producing a script for Inside Sales to use to get attendees to a new seminar, or even writing a direct mailing piece. (remember - I did say this was a while back).
History took over - and I moved to the USA - “life” - to quote Mr John Lennon - “is what happens when you are busy making other plans”.
