At the beginning of my credit control career in 1987 I fully intended to become an accountant. After much thought, I realised that whilst it made the most of my skills at the time (I loved math and numbers), I decided that I needed more to a job than just numbers. Someone told me about credit control and that seemed like the perfect roll for me. I have not looked back since.I have 37+ years’ experience within the Credit Management industry. I am a very conscientious, driven, and professional individual with extensive experience in credit control/debt collection. Having set-up and run a business for 18+ years, I am excellent at business development, sales, staff management, customer management, contract negotiations and business networking. I have an aptitude for figures and therefore enjoyed the financial side of running a business. I am very organised; I am never late for anything and I pay attention to the details.I can work on my own but I am also a collaborator. I am ambitious with good leadership qualities that will continue to drive any organisation forward. Any company will benefit from the added value that I will bring in the form of communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills which I have acquired over many years.I spend lots of time with my family, especially now that I have grandchildren. I love entertaining, I love cooking. I am an avid reader - often reading 1 - 2 books per week. I love music and regularly go out to gigs. Up until recently I used to present a weekly music radio show. I am into health & nutrition and exercise on a regular basis.Skills:- Managing Director- A Good All-rounder- Senior Management Positions- Running a Business- Customer Relationship Development – Excellent interpersonal and customer relationship skills- Business Development- Business Acumen- Problem Solving- Negotiating and Closing Sales- Commercial Awareness- Organised and Efficient - Attention to detail- Microsoft Office - including Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Nexum, Sage, Xero.
