Michael Myers

Mike is the newest and youngest entrant to SBM.  He started his career in the travel industry and subsequently moved to a company involved with the sourcing and supplying of parts for copiers and printers.  This soon prompted his interest in the destination and use of these products which meant technical training was required.  This position of trainee technician with the SBM service team he has adopted with a great deal of enquiring enthusiasm, which augurs well for the future.
