My first (unexpected) business trip
May 8, 2014
Last Wednesday I received an email from AB InBev, who is a global beer company responsible for brands such as Corona, Stella Artois and Budweiser, about my application to their graduate scheme.

Going once, going twice…

The American craze of storage auctions has recently found its way onto British television in the form of various programs with very similar names, such as Storage Wars, Storage Auctions and Storage Hunters. There is even a game available on the app store that recently topped the ‘paid for’ chart. Personally, I am a big …
