Hi,

A good friend has a very nice job vacancy going at the moment, lots of great products, excellent contact with major teams, very good long-term possibilities for the right person.

So if you've got the energy for it, and always wanted a job with top quality bike brands then drop James an email.

Good luck!

Ali

They're a good bunch, and the company is really going places. It was operating out of a tiny shop on the north circ few years back, and is now a multi-million pound business. James is a very talented MD and I'm sure he's a decent boss.

Another job I'd be seriously interested in.

I don't have a degree though nor the marketing experience ...

Oh well.

DSR, TP

It asks for experience or a degree, if you have one, you don't need the other (At least to get through the CV sift...)

If I wanted the job, I'd still be on the phone asking anyway and selling myself to them, just in case. Sometimes passion about something is better that a whole bunch of degrees.
