I was super keen to work with TFG because I had built a relationship with them whilst at Lancashire Cricket. I always really enjoyed the time spent working with those who I was in contact with and that was reciprocated across the people I worked with at the time. Everybody was always so kind, happy and personable and it seemed like such a great environment to be in. For me, it was a no brainer.
