With everyone working from home, we thought it would be a good time for you to get to know our team virtually. This week, we’re catching up with our Sales Manager, Sam.
How long have you worked at Readability?
I’ve been a part of the Readability team for 3 years and 5 months.
What do you do day to day at Readability?
Calling, calling and more calling.
What’s your favourite part about working at Readability?
The team! There’s a great atmosphere here and everyone’s really friendly.
What’s your background?
I started out working at a flint and chalk quarry, then I was a pot washer and waiter. After that, I moved into office work at a medical, industrial and chemical laser company based in Cambridge.
I studied in college for a year before I decided that wasn’t for me and left at the end of year one, following in the footsteps of both my parents.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
I am addicted to exercise and challenging myself. I have boxed for 4 years and had 1 fight which ended in a win. Now I am continuing going to the gym 5 days a week as well as a Muay Thai class, which is a real challenge for someone as inflexible as I am.
If I’m not exercising, you’ll find me socialising with my friends and family. I regularly attend summer festivals – sadly it doesn’t look like there will be any this year.
What’s your favourite podcast, book or TV show?
Line of duty
Do you have a favourite quote, if so, what is it?
Look good, feel good.
What’s the best piece of advice anyone has given you?
You don’t have to do anything extraordinary to stand out from the rest. Just be consistent in what you are doing and do what’s expected of you and you will climb the ladder of life with ease.
