15 Years of Gungho! It’s hard to believe that the Gungho we now know, sprang from a kitchen table in Dorset way back in 2007. The name Gungho was chosen at the time to reflect the no-holds-barred, enthusiastic philosophy to business discovery that the company would go on to embody. All those years ago, a gap in the market was identified and a realisation that there was burgeoning demand for lead generation amongst the very earliest entrants of the global RegTech industry.
In March 2020, Matt Sandy joined team Gungho in the UK as a Business Discovery Agent (BDA). Having never worked in telemarketing before and starting a new career only three weeks before COVID-19 forced the UK into lockdown, you’d be forgiven for thinking the adjustment must have been challenging. We interviewed Matt in August 2020 to find out about his first few months at Gungho. At the time, Matt said that he could see there was room for progression and he saw Gungho as a long-term career, rather than a gap-filler role, which is what he seemed to find at the time he was job searching. Fast forward two years and not only did Matt take to his new role like a duck to water, but he also quickly moved up through the ranks to Operations Manager. Here we talk to Matt about his Gungho journey.
