As Business Systems Analysts I used my skills in troubleshooting and problem-solving to overcome organisational challenges. I analyse current business processes and make recommendations for improvement based on industry trends and professional business knowledge. I have managed a project developing Power Bi as the main dashboard tool to review company performance. This involved using (ODBC) to access and extract data from our company ERP system and utilise this as imported data to refresh Power Bi.

The Windles Group is a highly versatile and focused production house, concentrating on delivering the most creative and highest quality printed products.I am an experienced leader with a proven track record of delivering results through pragmatic and dynamic measures. Teamwork, collaboration and communication have always been my key drivers.As Commercial Manager, I have had responsibility for the £3,000,000+ spend on components. During the last 5 years I have saved the business a considerable sum of money using my negotiation experience by identifying new suppliers and products. With responsibility for a team of customer service account managers, I led twice daily briefings on current workload and pipeline activity either in person or via conferencing links during the pandemic. I worked very closely with production manufacturing and had regular updates to agree budgets and timescales for clients.

This was a 3-month consultancy role working for the Managing Director. I proactively called and visited customers to evaluate a dormant CRM list. I then made recommendations for their CRM strategy. The result was a huge success in promoting the Mercia Image brand. I also attended multiple local marketing events to showcase their products and capabilities.

My key objectives included improving the customer experience and sales strategies, taking into consideration key issues in relation to SWOT and PEST factors. This required having a high-level knowledge of a large, complex organisation and the business sector including market trends. I led a team of senior operational managers covering various geographical regions in the UK along with a Sales Support Team and I was a confident decision maker. I was responsible for performance improvement and management of the Branch network in conjunction with the Regional General Managers.

In July 2010, I relocated to the Company's Headquarters in Northampton and was appointed to this key position. This new role involved working for the Divisional Operations Director and producing daily forecast figures and providing statistical analysis to improve sales and the customer sales experience. This required the use, understanding and knowledge of Excel, the Company's ERP system, Oracle CRM and COGNOS.
