Commenting on the launch of TWC Sound Bites, Tanya Pepin, CEO of TWC, said:

“We believe that visual and audio comms have an important role in reaching our industry – especially at a time when we cannot see what’s going on first-hand through visiting depots or HQs and talking to people on the ground. This is our way of hearing from the sharp end of wholesale and sharing with the industry to help learn, and to make more possible.”
