I have a successful and proven track record in direct sales through my ability to plan, develop, analyse and build customer relationships. This has come through 10 years in Free Trade sales for Whitbread Beer Company, over 10 years in fleet sales for car manufacturers (Toyota, MG Rover, Skoda and BMW Authorities), over 10 years directing two automotive companies in Nottingham and now with Rosenbauer UK Ltd.This experience has also taught me skills which make me a high performing director: communication, influencing, conflict resolution, reporting, objective setting/reviewing and perhaps most important - respect. The recent market uncertainty has also taught me to draw from history - “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change.” Charles Darwin was indeed a wise man.Professional ambitions: to enjoy my work, feel like I make a difference, help others achieve their goals and increase Rosenbauer's UK market share.Social ambitions: always enjoy my life, friends and work and to have a happy, healthy family. So far, so good!Specialties: Over 30 years B2B sales experience, most recently as UK Sales Manager for Rosenbauer UK Ltd - the world's premier fire fighting vehicle and equipment manufacturer.Qualifications include the ISMM Professional Field Force Award in 2010.Emergency Service Specialist for Skoda Fleet Sales and BMW Authorities: 2009 to 2011.I am also a Scout Leader at 8th Lincoln (1st Wragby) Scout Group, Deputy District Commissioner for Lincoln and I sit on the Lincoln District Trustees Committee, the Lincolnshire County Finance Committee and the Lincolnshire County Trustees Committee. Busy busy! Further recent charity work includes helping Lincoln Friends of Ukraine deliver aid to Poland (where Polish charity Ermed forward it on to the Ukraine front line) and return home with Ukrainian refugees.
