On 1st February 2026, Sam marked an incredible milestone – 10 years at Ecospill. Over the past decade, he’s been part of the business through periods of growth, change, and development, both professionally and personally. From joining as an Internal Business Development Manager to now representing Ecospill face to face as one of our Regional Business Development Managers.

We caught up over a cuppa, where Sam shared some of his favourite moments and what he’s most proud of achieving over the last 10 years.

What has been your favourite moment so far?

Watching the growth of Ecospill has been my favourite part of the journey. Being able to see the business develop, expand its offering, and strengthen relationships with customers over time has been extremely rewarding. Knowing that I’ve played a part in that growth makes it even more meaningful.

What’s one thing you’ve learned during your time here?

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that patience is key. Building long-term success doesn’t happen overnight, and strong relationships take time to develop. I’ve also learned that people buy from people they trust, respect, and genuinely like.

What are you most proud of achieving?

I’m most proud of being able to watch Ecospill grow during a period of significant change in my own life. Over the same time, I’ve become a dad and continued to develop alongside the company. It feels as though my personal growth and Ecospill’s growth have gone hand in hand.

What was your role in the beginning, and where are you at right now? Can you compare then and now?

I originally joined Ecospill as an Internal Business Development Manager. Over time, I’ve taken on a variety of roles within the business, gaining a strong understanding of both internal operations and customer needs. I’ve since transitioned into an external facing role as a Regional Business Development Manager, where I now spend time meeting customers face to face, supporting them with Site Surveys, Training and helping them support their customers.
