Tell us about your best experience so far working with Impact

I have been at Impact coming up to 9 years and wow what a journey I have been on! I started out my whole career at Impact and have never looked back. I have been supported, trained and offered the opportunity manage teams, work with the best brands in the world and develop my own personal career. I have been on two Mat leaves since being at Impact and in both instances, welcomed back with open arms to a busy desk. Here is to the next 9 years….?
