​I’m Sam, the Marketing Manager at Forward Role

I joined the business right at the beginning, when it was a back bedroom operation, with just me, FR Founder Steve and Peeps the cat. I've done a couple of roles within Forward Role but have worked in Marketing for 4 years - I don’t think anyone knows this brand like I do!

I have loved watching FR grow into the business it is today!

I have a degree in Marketing & Advertising from Lancaster University and have previously worked in luxury sales and as a Business Manager at Benefit.

Outside of work, my life is dominated by my 2 boys, Bobby & Roman, and their various hobbies. My family is my everything! I’ve also been teaching children's dance classes for 18 years and judged national dance competitions.

I also used to be a professional singer from the age of 15 to 25 and toured the country performing gigs- the biggest being at a racing cup final in front of about 15,000 people. I look back and loved every minute of that part of my life, I never really wanted to be famous and I chose to give it all up, because I realised life is too short and I was happiest with my friends and family.
