SAMPLE
I'm going to talk about Tom who was a former colleague back in the day
when I was working for a law firm in London. So, we've known each other
for donkey's years, and I think we first met in 2010.
We were working in the same department and got on really well, we really
hit it off from the start.
He's arguably the most intelligent guy I've ever met, I mean he's sharp, really
sharp! He's pretty gregarious, but very focused. Anyway, he left that
company to set up his own business, and he made a real success of it.
He went from being one man, to now having a team of 10, and being known
as one of the leading law firms in his area. I feel extremely proud of him,
because he deserved to do well. I am sure he will continue to grow and do
well.
