The Ford Dog / Ford Lord is back on the lounge and what a pleasure it is to have the big dog back in the house! 

We discuss Lock Out + Live, getting quotes wrong, the importance of safety, awards nights, networking, preparing for the busy season, why to invest into wholesaler relationships, communication, plus much much more! 

100% all sparkies should get around the Lock Out + Live business, purchase your safety kits, give them a follow and like on social, honestly let’s make safety cool again. 

Ford is one of my favourite persons to chat to ever and I really hope you enjoy the pod. 

What a time to be alive xx
