Janet Hogg joins Leicester Circuits

17th October 2018

We at Leicester Circuits are pleased to announce that we have secured the services of Janet C Hogg as part of our sales team. Janet is well known within the PCB circles, and when she left the industry last year there was both a heartfelt sigh and almost mourning as people began to miss her mirth and merriment. I am glad to report that normal service has been resumed and her customers can look forward to more madness and an overall improved sense of wellbeing for 2013. Of course we couldn’t have secured Janet without also employing Jolly Ollie as our Company Mascot!
