Business Heroes

April 9, 2018

The five Directors of Unfiltered answered seven questions last week on their business influences.  Taking a leaf from My Food Bag’s approach of employees choosing a favourite food to add to their name, we added the name of our business hero to our own monikers.  Why not try it too?
