It's Sailesh's first day as team leader at Smile5.

This is a mail order catalogue company selling everything from Rolex watches to lawnmowers, from financial products to phone and broadband, from holidays to health insurance.

And somewhere in a brown-field wasteland miles from the nearest town, it runs one of the largest call centres operating in the UK.

This is the world of The Headset Set.
