Kicking off with a presentation, Danny is taught how to dress the part.

He then learns the key elements to becoming a perfect assistant – from going above and beyond to being on hand day or night.

The video was revealed to be a new campaign by Sky Broadband to highlight the importance of round-the-clock service and its 24/7 switching support service.

“It's all about serving up smiles and charm, which is what I’m all about.
