15 YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGER Oliver Foulger About Me I have worked in school sales for the past 3 years and having started skiing when I was 7 and developing a passion for it, the chance to join the ski industry was too good to turn down. I have spent a number of weeks in our club hotels, as well as a number of weeks in both france, Italy and north America overseeing SkiBound groups, and have therefore seen first hand just how enjoyable our trips are.
