What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote role where I can leverage my communication, leadership, and commercial skills.

I built a domestic cleaning franchise territory from zero to 220 clients and managed 63 cleaners, growing the business through sales, marketing, and logistics.

From 2022 to 2025, I managed three holiday lettings properties in the Yorkshire Dales, overseeing conversions, operations, marketing, and guest services. I implemented booking and marketing systems to support revenue growth.

Earlier in my career, I worked in financial advice and banking, including as a self-employed mortgage broker and in branch roles at Santander, NatWest, Barclays, and Halifax. I’m seeking a remote role where I can use my communication, leadership, and commercial skills.
