I am a very loyal, energetic and driven Manager. With vast knowledge and experience of working within high paced sales environments. I have worked for a number of industry leaders in very different industries including food & beverage, automotive & energy. Through determination and my enthusiasm to impress clients and colleagues, I have always excelled and progressed quickly through the ranks of the companies I have had the oppurtunity to work with.My most recent venture has found me working at Hatfields Land Rover Liverpool starting as a Used Car Sales Manager and progressing within the first 7 months onto General Sales Manager. Managing a team of 25 ranging from new car & business managers to valet, sales administration and sales executives.Prior to my time at Hatfields I was with UK Car Group trading under the brand Carcraft for around 8 years. I worked from Sales Executive through to General Manager in this space and ending my carcraft career as Reginal Operations Manager. I gained my reputation as an organised, profitable, forward thinking manager in the Finance and Insurance Manager role. Resulting in working with the compliance team to ensure we had strict training and strategic plans for the finance teams nationwide.
