About me

Having competed at a high level in Rugby and Judo I keep extremely fit. My competitive personality whilst boring to some, is the platform for my career successes.

I am a very approachable relatable sales leader of between 16 and 50 personnel. Driving from within, preferring a player coach style of management, my approach always increases profitable growth. As a very experienced Sales & Marketing Director I am commercially astute with substantial strategy and business development acumen, with an unquestionable USP for the development of profitable improvement. I routinely surpass mandates negotiating new high value contracts with Domestic & International industry leaders across FMCG, Pharma, Drinks, Food Services, Home & Personal Care (H&PC). Theses are all highly complex & competitive environments, complicated further by, Covid and pressurising packaging legislations.

The implementation and management of my tailored integrated solutions to businesses over +20 years has helped me consistently return on investment both domestically, across the EU the US. I have considerable success, recruiting, mentoring and managing internal & external sales and customer service teams towards continuous improvement in line with a strategic direction to enable objectives to be fulfilled.

I have been recruited consistently to strategize and implement profitable growth plans or rescue businesses from performance drought, which I do by challenging the status quo to establish a more lateral sometimes unconventional way of establishing new development opportunities.
