Goodbye Vic De Costa. It’s been fun working with you!
MRA Marketing says goodbye to SWISSPACER UK Sales Manager Vic De Costa who is retiring in May. Vic is a well-liked, familiar face in the glass and glazing industry. He’s worked with Saint-Gobain for 29 years!
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Saint Gobain and can’t believe how time has flown,” says Vic. “I’ve made some great friends in the industry and worked in some fantastic roles. Over the last five years I’m proud to have contributed to SWISSPACER’s success as No.1 in the market and even helped extend its lead.”
MD Andreas Geith adds: “It’s been great fun working with Vic. Everyone who knows Vic, knows you can’t miss him when he’s around! His positive attitude and determination to succeed has helped secure SWISSPACER’s position in the UK today. We’ll miss him and wish him all the best in his retirement.”
“The last five years have been challenging and successful as the market has changed,” comments MRA Marketing’s Mike Rigby. “Vic’s the sort of guy who walks through walls if he has to, and is always laughing, so working with him has been very rewarding. We’ll miss him.”
