My “niche” is developing and growing consumer facing sectors. Working with existing businesses to review, plan and then implement structured, sustainable growth.My early career has given me a firm operations foundation onto which, through learning and experience, I have developed skills in marketing, sales, contracts, business structures and much more, working with disruptive, innovating business models.Three of my proudest achievements to date:• Developing a 6 site retail pharmacy franchise, into a 65 site Irish national network, in a new symbol group structure. (www.lifepharmacy.ie)• Rebranding and launching a small floor sanding company (consumer & commercial) to become the market leader in both Ireland and the UK. This utilising a combination of franchise and affiliate models, with further growth following in other areas by extending the brand. (www.ultimate-floorsanding.co.uk, www.ultimatefloorsanding.com , www.ultimate-floorcare.com ) • Explosive multinational growth, of the pre smart phone era, easyInternet mega café chain, reaching 8 countries and 2 continents in 18 months. (As well as achieving a Guinness world record for the largest site in the world in New York’s, Times square!).If you have a consumer facing retail or service brand looking for an experienced senior manager who can lead a transformational growth project, give me a call or message me.
