Europe

Courchevel, France

"Living a Dream" - it was now or never so took on the role of Chalet Host with my wife for the ski season. We were in Courchevel 1650, France running a 12 person chalet serving breakfast and a 3-course evening meal. In between work we spent our time on the slopes or enjoying the fabulous scenery in the Alps.The experience has given me additional insight working with guests from 1 to 80 years old and an understanding of the hospitality industry.

Director & part-owner re-establishing Bencere with my partners from nothing into a multi-million pound business.From being a reseller of product in our early days, we started our own manufacturing facility designing and making precision cutting tools designed around the production of holes. One key product was a high precision adjustable reamer that we patented and allowed us to achieve sustainable growth over the following years.My initial role within Bencere was to establish the business by generating sales in the UK and then Europe which included a marketing function and arranging exhibitions around the world including UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and America.As the business grew my role developed from a sales role to one managing the day to day running of the business with specific responsibility for sales, finance, H&S and personnel, and ultimately the manufacturing side of the business.In December 2006 the reaming and manufacturing aspects of the business were sold to one of our main customers Kennametal, Inc; and the Bencere agency business continued as a seperate entity.
