Why did you choose the CWG?

That is a great story. Two of my former colleagues work as upholsterers at Supportec Upholsteries. I had called 1 of them to ask if she wanted to work at my former employer. I was so surprised by her enthusiastic story about her current employer. The other colleague phoned me a few weeks later to see if I wouldn’t consider working for the CoverWorks Group. Given this invitation, I attended an introductory talk. It immediately felt right, during this talk we discussed the possibilities available in the group. We had a click, and a few weeks later I was called about the position of project manager at Bolster Softgoods.
