With chilled beers packed you’ll then head out into trade to meet some existing customers and potential new business.

Over lunch you might meet with a wholesale sales rep to share data and insights before carrying on with an afternoon of meetings with customer check ins and draught quality checks. And along the way you’ll build staff advocacy, training bar teams and prospecting new accounts.

To see out the day you might stop off in a pub with a pint of Lucky Saint while you wrap up any actions from the day's work before hosting a Lucky Saint sponsored activation.
