And boy am I pleased with myself. Since working for my company all I wanted to do was be a in Branch Business Manager looking after business customers.

Most people go through a graduate fast track scheme and it takes them two years to get there. Not an option I had unfortunately.

Now I recon am a smart bloke, memory like a sieve however, but I pick things up and never make the same mistake twice. But I wasted my school years. Got good GCSE's, but discovered alcohol and a social life when I was doing my A-Levels and it all went down the pan.

But I started off working when I was 19 in financial services and apart from a small stint of going back to college to study a BTEC in Auto Engineering I kept getting back into finance.

I started working for my current employer four years ago. And it was in the first position I had there I met my first Business In Branch Manager. He told me what he did and from that moment on the last four years of my life have been devoted to one thing, getting into that role myself.

Well, yesterday, after attending a 3 hour interview on Thursday, I got the news I wanted, I got the position.

As soon as I am releasable from my existing position I will be assigned a branch somewhere in the south west of london and I will start looking after business account customers for myself.

Properly pleased.

I know, sorry if I am boasting, but I'm so pleased I can't wait to get started.

So if your self employed and live somewhere in the south east of london and want a friendly bank manager you know who to call

 

well done fella

 

Good for you Stu, glad to see you're happy mate! Top man

You big headed prick!

 

Well done

 

ghost busters????

good news on achieving your goal though, it's nice when it all comes into place i do wonder why your not celebrating it rather than being stuck on here

 

The kind of clubs he's into don't open until 11pm! But you can bet your favourite George Michael LP that he'll be decked out in leather and sucking some glory hole cock before the day is out!

The man knows how to celebrate.

 

All true... except the George Michael bit... and Paddy you said you would never tell anyone

 

I like Bruce Lee's quote

'If i say i'm good, you'd say i'm boasting. If i say i'm not good, you know i'm lying'

Well Done Bud!!!

 

Well done mate. Your pretty local, so send me ya details over when ya in the position and I may give you a shout as I keep looking to setup my own business

 

Well done!!

 

well done

 

Definitely It will be somewhere around our area. Problem is don't know when I will start, could be in a month, could be three as they have to get a replacement in on my current position, but get a plan together and we can sort a meeting to talk things over.

 

congratulations

 

I've been wanting to work for myself for 12 years, don't think I will be any closer in 3 months I will look into it more, get a business plan made up, etc

 

well done

 

thats great news and nice to see someone getting a break in life, good luck with the new job pal

 

nice one; all the best

 

Congratulations, sounds like you deserve it

 

nice one mate congrats

 

well done mate good luck

 

nice one m8, chase your dreams, when you catch them, dream some more

 

I wish it was a lucky break really but like most things you want it you have to chase it, keep your eyes and ears open and go for the opportunities when you can!

 

Ha ha, important thing is to research what you actually want your business to do, how you want to run it and get some ideas of costs. Where you going to get your materials and things like that. I'll have access to plenty of things that will help you put a plan together.

 

Well done
