His skills in marketing will be invaluable to the team and provide our sales and marketing manager with the vital support he needs to drive the business forward. I’m very much looking forward to being able to contribute to Julien’s personal development and help him to put the theory he has learnt at university into practice.”

Julien added:

“I am excited to learn new skills at KwizzBit; I’m particularly interested to learn more about the technology side of the business which is something that is quite new to me. I have a passion for business and marketing and I believe that working closely with the team at KwizzBit will allow me to gain really useful industry insight that will help me to excel in my studies.”
