I thought I would use this space to brain dump some of the things my work history doesn't cover...Based in Oxfordshire (born and bread), I am now a proud father of 2 little ones and spend any other spare time (not much) playing Ice hockey. The team I play for is the same team that introduced me to the sport 30 years ago and supported growing up. To try and sum up my career path to date, I love great products with big ambitions, I have spent a lot of my career building and launching start up brands into the UK market and overseas. I do wonder why sometimes, it's long hours, hurdles and set backs but there is no better feeling than to celebrate your first order go out of the door, to eventually losing track.I love meeting new people, fortunately my sales career has facilitated just that. Whether it's on the other side of the table or on the same side of the bar, I have met some great people along the way and built some fantastic relationships (even if they didn't say yes :)I have worked in some of the most competitive industries in the UK from smoking cessation, energy drinks to event payment technology. Actively driving challenger brands to compete is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
