The Drum - Stuart Watt

Stuart Watt, Head of Sales, The Trading Floor

1. What attracted you to the position?
The pace of growth and the fact that they have such a strong reputation for ‘doing things the right way.’

2. What company did you last work for?
Experian Integrated Marketing.

3. What was your first industry job?
Ten years ago as a corporate account manager for Datel Computing.

4. How did you find your new position?
The Trading Floor had been a client of mine for the last 18 months. We had a great working relationship and I finally decided to join them after a couple of ‘invites’.

5. What would you like as your epitaph?
Winner! Sometimes cheesy.

6. What’s your oddest habit?
I am a fully fledged member of the OCD Club. How about eating cheese sandwiches, every work day for five years? When in the office, always wearing my jacket until noon.

7. Who was your favourite teacher at school and what did they teach?
No idea, I remember going to school and that’s about it.
