Louise Wardle Email & Phone Number

My work at ICM involves managing a varied portfolio of clients ranging from automotive retail clients (primarily packaging) to asbestos removal/enabling works (full campaign work). I am the first point of contact for these clients, taking briefs for packaging, catalogues, direct mail, advertising etc and feeding these to our creative team. I am very organised and ensure deadlines and budgets are met.My role also involves Business Development for ICM including identifying new business opportunities and securing new appointments.

My time at Worthington Brown was split between Business Development and Account Management. I established a Business Development system as the role was new and built business by cold calling, attending pitches, writing tenders etc.I also account managed key accounts such as the National Coal Mining Museum and Skanwear Clothing (both of which were gained as new clients from my initial cold calls).

I began work at DC Group as a Business Development Manager fresh from my field sales role at Billing Online. I was responsible for identifying opportunities for new business with new and existing clients, making contact through cold calling and networking events and attending meetings with a senior member of staff.I was also responsbile for high profile tender applications to grow DC's public sector client base, which we successfully achieved.As my knowledge of the industry and relationship with clients grew I took on more Account Management responsibilities managing projects for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, Sector Skills Councils and Wincanton Plc to name a few.I really enjoyed my time at DC Group which laid the foundations for my career within the creative industry.

I was placed at Billing Online following my recruitment into the 'Pareto Law' sales training programme. Pareto Law run a series of assessments to find fresh graduates ready for a career in sales, they then place you with a client and begin a 6 week sales training programme.This was an exciting time for me to learn core sales techniques and apply these to my role at Billing Online. It was a new role which involved identifying opportunities for their pre-paid telecoms technology, cold calling and attending meetings all over the North of the UK.I was mainly selling to creative agencies so it was through Billing Online that my enthusiasm for the creative industry was born!
