How do I make our customers' lives easier

I joined Aegg, a relatively new challenger packaging brand, in 2011. My role ever since, has been to drive the growth of Aegg, ensuring that the people, suppliers and customers receive excellent quality products and service.

Very different) which I am able to enjoy as I cycle it off.

How do I make our customers' lives easier

I work to a customers brief and sketch a few ideas specifically tailored to their requirements.

What I like to do in my spare time
