About me
My background offers a proven combination of 'hands on' sales skills and strategic marketing experience, with an excellent track record of achievement. A successful 45 year-old Graduate with supplementary marketing and media qualifications, results driven, with a proactive approach to increasing sales and a proven track record of negotiating with blue-chip organizations and major retailers. Fully conversant with meeting stringent targets, continuous improvement culture and always looking to extend best practice and modern management tools into company culture.
Having taken part with client company's management teams, responsible for planning and setting strategic direction, coordinating the activities of field and internal sales teams in the UK, USA & Asia and forging cohesive and highly effective sales and marketing units. An accomplished leader with outstanding motivational skills with a proven record of coaching and developing successful sales teams together with the commercial acumen, energy and commitment needed to play an influential and measurable role in the overall management of any company.
BP Consulting was established in 2001 to help companies grow their businesses, by discovering and implementing new opportunities and effective strategies, to create the environment for new product innovation.
An experienced International product innovation strategists and project co-ordinator, I work with clients to develop both new products and services. Projects range from initial NPD strategy and planning, research and development programmes, through to the creation and management of multi-disciplined teams delivering total solutions with market testing and compliance. I help my clients to assess the true commercial value of their technology and intellectual property and propose routes to its commercialisation by establishing new business models.
Clients include:
Virgin Atlantic Diageo
Boots Mars Electronics
Ford Motor Company- Reckitt & Benckiser
(Aston Martin & Jaguar) Renishaw
Greene King Plc Swiss Air
Hyundai SGS European Telecom
British Airways Unilever
De la Rue GlazoSmithkline
Vodafone
From specialist start-ups to global telecommunications providers, BP Consulting has helped companies understand, create and deliver these services, by providing an interim sales & marketing or project management facility through to a scalable, multidisciplinary team.
I work in partnership with my clients to identify, develop and introduce relevant structures, appropriate methodologies and processes to their projects, enabling them to improve their management of innovation and technology and deliver successful products and services that last the test of time.
My reasons for seeking a new opportunity are two-fold; firstly my company relies heavily on my own expertise and therefore draws primarily on my own time, causing difficulty in fulfilling a client base where each client is demanding considerable time and attention. Secondly my original business plan did not envisage that I would be the main resource for delivering these complex services and was based on retaining the resource of similar individuals on a freelance basis. This has proved costly and difficult to resource at short notice. Instead my business has changed course and become the originator and resourse for larger marketing, advertising and product innovation houses, with the benefit being somwhat one-sided in favour of themselves.

Yours faithfully
