I build B2B pipelines, win industrial accounts, and create digital growth systems.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I've built commercial growth across Packaging One, Logson Group, and Smurfit Kappa UK, opening territories, creating pipelines, and winning new business in competitive manufacturing and industrial markets.
At Logson Group, I built a £13m national pipeline from zero within four months, secured £1.1m in new business, and positioned 34 tenders across nine manufacturing sites. At Smurfit Kappa UK, I managed a £2.6m portfolio, ranked in the national top 15 salespeople, and won 12–15 new accounts annually.
I combine value-based selling, negotiation, territory planning, and account development with practical digital growth systems spanning WordPress, SEO, lead capture, email nurture, LinkedIn outreach, and conversion journeys.
