At Mackle Petfoods I was responsible for developing the export business not only across Europe but further afield in the Middle East. The two major channels I developed were the pet wholesale trade as well as major grocery retailers such as Ahold Delhaize, Jeronimo Martins, Dansk Group (Netto) and Spinneys (UAE)

At Elmgrove Foods, part of Dunbia, I exported container loads of meat and animal by products to the Far East. Our biggest market was Hong Kong but also Philippines, Singapore and Korea.

At Provita I was responsible for developing the North America business, mainly in west coast and midwest United States but also in Canada. There I ensured the farming public were aware of our brand and that our territory reps had the training needed to succeed in the tough agri/biotech market. I also organised and attended the major American animal health, veterinary and dairy industry tradeshows.

Under the Edward Jones franchise I started my own financial services branch in the Tarporley area of Cheshire, building up a local bank of clients through networking and straightforward door to door introductions. Through a mix of face to face and telephone contact I managed funds for clients, conducted trades within strict compliance to FSA requirements and offered sound, professional advice.
