Sally Tomkotowicz

I’m Sally and I lead the Customer Acquisition team. A big part of my focus is acquiring new customers though Google PPC (pay per click) as well as through partnerships and affiliate relationships.

When I’m not at work I enjoy playing with my dogs Bowie and Deuchars. They like nothing better than running round on the hills near our house. I like keeping fit and play in a netball team which I really enjoy and post-game drinks are always fun!

Rivett still in the lead after Thruxton!

Posted on May 7 2013 by Matthew / Paul Rivett, Support Made In Britain / Leave a comment

M-eG0WyYBYh0a5lhspMGLJ27oAB0mcli_VWfRxr16woThe names.co.uk team enjoyed a weekend of sunshine at Thruxton, supporting Paul Rivett in the UK Clio Cup Championship – unfortunately things didn’t go quite to plan for the Championship leader!

After a successful weekend at Donington Park last month, Paul struggled during Saturday’s qualifying and managed P13 for both races on the tricky Thruxton circuit. During Round 5, Paul managed to make it up to an impressive 4th place;  he also managed to pick up 2 points for the fastest lap on the way. A great result!

The second race of the weekend was a tougher test for Rivett, eventually making it up to 9th place. We caught up with him after the race to get his thoughts, “I struggled to make as much progress in the first half of the race (compared to Round 5). It took a while to get past Alex Morgan, who had also qualified out of place. Once I got round him we then managed to pick off a few more places to eventually finish 9th – when you start at the back of the grid there is so much more to do”.
