Further details
When Vincent, Fitzpatrick and Lavender meet a group of men from a local publishing company, their alpha male hackles are raised: not only do these men get an expense account, but they each have a company car.
But when Cachet boss Tony Walsh rejects Vincent's request to match these perks, Vincent starts to think maybe he's in the wrong business.
Meanwhile, in a bid to save face, Fitzpatrick puts faith in his comprehensive knowledge of Cachet's home turf - with potentially dangerous consequences.
In the showroom, receptionist Carol tries to get to grips with the new office computer.

White Gold Episode 2 review
Nobody comes out of this better, or nicer, or having learned something... Not even the viewers, we suspect. Unless these events begin to accrue into something larger, unless there's some kind of kickback for the way Vincent acts - which there may just be.
John Moore, Cult Box, 1st June 2017The double-glazing comedy continues with Vincent unhappy at not having a company car following an encounter with some advertising salesmen. Our boy quits his job, a prelude to numbskull Fitzpatrick taking over as "temporary showroom manager". Fitfully amusing, but the few female characters are underwritten, and the antics of on-the-make "fairground workers in shiny suits" as they're dubbed in one encounter, grate unless you're nostalgic for Thatcherism.
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 31st May 2017
