Q1 Q2


Q3 Q4


WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?


As a young teenager, my first job was a Sunday paper round. Then, as soon as I turned 16, I started working in a bar collecting glasses.


HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE TILE/STONE


INDUSTRY? When I was 18, my friend got me a job in a warehouse. From there, I moved into the purchasing department, where I got a good overview of the products in the market, which set me up with a lot of the knowledge I have today. After that role, I moved into contract sales and now I’m the contracts manager, with a team of dedicated sales people all passionate about the products we offer.


WHO, IN ANY OTHER INDUSTRY, DO YOU


MOST ADMIRE? Ricky Gervais. Not only is he an amazing comedian, but also a passionate champion for animal rights. We share many of the same opinions about animal cruelty.


IF MONEY WAS NO OBJECT, WHAT CAR


WOULD YOU BUY? A Lamborghini.


— 32 — Q8 Q9


IF YOU COULD INVENT ONE PRODUCT TO


MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER,


WHAT WOULD IT BE? A self-driving car. If I could work on my laptop whilst travelling from meeting to meeting, it would save me a lot of time.


WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU


WERE GROWING UP? What most young guys wanted to be – a footballer!


WHAT DO YOU DO TO UNWIND?


I play football, walk the dog and go to the gym.


IF YOU COULD HOST A DINNER PARTY WITH


ANY THREE GUESTS, DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD THEY


BE AND WHY? Ricky Gervais, Jim Carrey and Elon Musk. Ricky to talk about his work on animal rights; Jim for the laughs; and Elon because he seems like an interesting character.


IF YOU COULD VISIT ANY PLACE IN THE


WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU


GO AND WHY? Area 51, just to have a look and see if the rumours are true.

MAR ESTEVE CORTES, DIRECTOR


OF NEOLITH, ASKED: WHICH NEW DEVELOPMENTS/ TECHNOLOGY IN THE INDUSTRY ARE YOU MOST


EXCITED ABOUT? The new features available on Smart WC are amazing and, due to popularity, they’re becoming more cost-effective. I think we’ll see them gaining traction in the coming years.
