Consultant to French regional development agencies, I conducted desk-based research to provide French companies with market intelligence on their sector, identify potential UK agents, distributors or direct clients and ultimately secure them a sales route into the UK. Sectors included mechanical engineering (aeronautics, automotive), food and drink, manufacturing. As part of the marketing service I translated their websites etc into English and created marketing documents for the companies. I hosted a French Pavilion at Subcon each year (the UK's subcontracting exhibition).

Local sourcing account manager at ASDA. This gave local suppliers a route to a wider market through the stores in the North East of England. During my time I introduced many new suppliers and product lines to the stores (both food and non-food) and negotiated terms. I trebled turnover for the hub and this success was recognised with being awarded "most improved hub".

I successfully launched various new unit trusts, communicated with internal and external stakeholders and implemented the statutory reporting booklets required for all unit trusts.
