The Sales and Marketing Awards Gala is an annual industry event, comprised of first class entertainment, speeches from experienced leaders of the direct sales and marketing sector, prizes and awards to highlight the significance of the industry and celebrate its achievements as well as to discuss new trends. "Being nominated for an award at one of the most important events in the direct sales and marketing industry is something very special and means a lot to me," explained Lee Sansum of Swan Global Direct.

After finishing his degree in Sports Science and Football Coaching, Lee Sansum started working in the sales and marketing sector. When he was involved in a major accident, he lost his confidence and experienced a personal setback. Raising money for an organisation that helps homeless people helped Lee Sansum to get back on track. So he hit the ground running, working towards opening up his own business in the direct sales and marketing industry. "This award is so important to me. I overcame my fear, my struggles made me stronger and the award actually made me realise what we have been through and what we have overcome; it's simply amazing," said Lee Sansum of Swan Global Direct, after the event.

Nowadays, Lee Sansum is sharing his own journey and inspires young entrepreneurs who want to open up a business but need the relevant support, guidance or confidence to go ahead.
