Roger Hooper

Roger has spent the whole of his working life in sales, starting off in Industry before moving to the Service Sector spending almost 30 years as an Estate Agent, latterly with his own business.

Later he worked as a Sales Executive and Regional Sales Manager for 2 national laundries before retiring in November 2008.

However Roger has missed the challenges and competitiveness of business life and we are delighted that he has decided to join us at Practical Sales & Marketing. This is an extension of a business relationship and friendship which covers well over 30 years.

 

Idea Man

“When I was a little boy amongst my lead soldiers and farm animals was a small milkman.  My father told me that he was the “Idea Man” so we used to consult him when we ran out of things to do.

The ideas that purported to come from him are legion. I still have the “Idea Man”, although the white paint has long since worn off, and I often think of those far off childhood days and the adventures that started with him.

Now I see myself in the role of original “Idea Man”, not only for my grand children, but also for many clients past and present. I do hope that you will choose to tap into the “Idea” culture.
