What do you enjoy about working at YGT?
There is a great team of passionate sales people within the office. The sales role also means I’ve played golf courses all over the world which enables me to sell packages to clients with first hand experience.

What attracted you to work here?
I joined firstly as a placement student back in 2007. I then came back to YGT 18 months later after completing my degree. I saw the potential and loved the sales environment. Working in central London for a historical fast track 100 company is a great achievement.

How would you describe the culture at YGT?
YGT is a fresh, sport minded and big family unit. There are multiple sports teams on the go within the company and people socialise in and outside the office frequently which is testament to a good working environment.

Favourite YGT golf course and why?
Troia Golf - South of Lisbon - Stunning golf course - Robert Trent Jones design. Its ranked 36th in Europe but No. 1 in my eyes. Only around £45 a round too so superb value for money.  

Interesting fact about you?
Love cycling (completed the Surrey 100 miles twice), currently training to complete an Ironman event next September 2018.
