Ruth has been with Elusive for just about a year now, but her promotion to Operations Director was relatively recent. As the role was still very new when we spoke, she tells us a bit about what her current day-to-day looks like, the vision for the future, and what her previous role as Head of Sales, Marketing and Events entailed. We then go all the way back to the beginning of Ruth\u2019s career in beer which has seen her work in sales roles for breweries including Adnams, Charles Wells, West Berkshire, Utopian and now Elusive. (She\u2019s also spent some time in gin sales, too!) As you\u2019ll hear, she\u2019s got a wealth of experience and knowledge to share, including advice on how to get started in a career in beer, the skills it takes to succeed in sales and much more. Finally, Ruth tells us what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. (Just a quick heads-up Ruth\u2019s adorable sausage dog Bertie was in the room with her during our conversation, so you\u2019ll hear him chime in on occasion. Hopefully it\u2019s not too distracting!) Here\u2019s Ruth\u2026 ","author_name":"Cheers with Nat","author_url":"https:\/\/cheerswithnat.substack.com\/","html":"
