Gary Irvine - Contract Sales Manager

Gary Irvine is the contract sales manager at Ulster Carpets in Portadown - "We supply primarily five star hotels around the world and we develop carpeting schemes for those hotels so a lot of my job is actually involved with speaking to designers and architects, coming up with design schemes". After gaining a degree in French and German, Gary thought he wanted to teach and took a placement opportunity while waiting for the teacher training course to begin. Although he enjoyed the work, he realised it wasn't for him and found work in the Sales Department of a linen company. The best thing for him is when he can make a presentation about Ulster carpets using his foreign language skills.
