Report
I registered with Daniel Owen mid-late 2021. I had recently started working doing cable pulling.
Fantastically, one day, Will Evans from Daniel Owen messaged me about cable pulling opportunities. The joy didn't end there as I was offered a considerable amount more than what I was already receiving. So I immediately appointed Daniel Owen as my primary sponsor. Since signing a contract and commencing with with Daniel Owen they kept me nice and busy with consistent with week after week.. Any issues/queries I had were always quickly resolved by Will Evans and/or Megan Thomson...
