I started my career at Polestar with no clients and had to develop my portfolio from scratch. With a consistent record of achieving above target growth, I have also been required to manage clients through a period of industry consolidation. This included on-boarding new clients after takeover activity and maintaining client relationships as print sites were closed down and printing activity was concentrated in a smaller number of locations.Running a small team and acting as second in command to the Group Sales Director, I support activity at 4 production sites.Notable success include:-Through personal reputation, I also gained half of the Tier 2 clients in the business with £4m per annum sales.I also improved the targeting of sales by creating a planning board for printing presses to increase utilisation through adding smaller runs. Furthermore, I implemented a price matrix to simplify the process of giving quotes. This limited loss of potential sales to rivals by avoiding delays in responding to clients.I believe client retention is critical for a successful business and I work with clients to meet their requirements through design of innovative and cost-saving solutions. These included creating a personalised coffee table catalogue for a leading retail store instead of a mass market brochure while saving £150k in costs. I also saved a client £60k a year in paper costs by switching from a sheet feed to web offset process.I also project managed the delivery of time-sensitive documents which included inserts for multiple newspapers covering royal events such as births, christenings and the Queen’s 90th birthday.I am experienced at team selection and management, having recruited and trained 3 graduates into the businesses. I also maintain the CRM database to track the effectiveness of sales staff with clients and reallocate where necessary.

I was approached by BGP to support business expansion plans into the niche publishing market for small and medium-sized clients. After a year, I was generating £80-£100,000 AV per calendar month, building a loyal client base based on close attention to print quality and meeting scheduling requirements.

Approached for a sales role, I was turning over £3.3m in net sales by year 3 and was regularly recognised as top salesperson, securing a contract for 12 magazine titles covering extreme sports.I became a specialist in supporting small to medium publishers on day to day operational matters and also the challenging task of moving printers.

Hartlebury, Worcestershire

Having joined TPL, I was quickly given responsibility for the Reed Business Information account after TPL secured 24 titles. I was then offered a Sales Support role where I delivered growing levels of business up to £1.5m, resulting in promotion to Sales Manager. In this position, I secured a major £2.4m contract with Future Publishing and as a result, took on a more commercial role managing this account. Using my production expertise, I was able to better coordinate Manufacturing teams to deliver to customer requirements and resolve production issues.
