After (enough) years in the sales world, our Founder spotted the gap between problems and solutions, and businesses that were sufferably aware that they had only 1 of the 2.He was crafty, our Founder. He thought “Let’s build a bridge!”Not for people to get over their issues and move on, but to close that gap between problems and solutions, so that everyone can unite and live harmoniously.So, think of WHAM as a bridge. It could be sturdy like the Golden Gate Bridge, or like the rickety one off I’m a Celeb.Either way, problems need solving and we can help with that.If you can’t build a bridge in-house, get over it or get in touch!
