Ollie | Sales Apprentice

Hi my name is Ollie, I'm a sales apprentice at Portsmouth Renault & Dacia. I live in Havant near Portsmouth and went to school at Warblington School, after which, I went to Havant College. When I was growing up, I wanted to be everything from a professional footballer to a rockstar! I'm a big Portsmouth FC fan and a season ticket holder at Fratton Park.
