What I'm looking for

I'm open to opportunities where I can drive commercial growth, build strategic partnerships, develop new markets, and create long-term value for clients and partners.

At Blakes Meats, I lead sales within a small, high-performing team, helping drive significant business growth. I expanded the education sector into a major, reliable customer base and built a telesales function from the ground up.

During COVID-19, I targeted sectors that remained operational and used initiatives such as Eat Out to Help Out to support hospitality and catering clients. I was recognised as a Star Performer for my contribution to the company’s success.

Previously at UKSOL, I secured exclusive distributor relationships for a British solar PV brand across the Far East, South America, Africa, and the Caribbean. I managed the international sales cycle from prospecting and pricing through project estimation, shipping, negotiation, and closing.

At Mediteria, I generated and converted new business with Michelin-starred chefs and restaurant owners while developing key accounts for long-term growth. Across B2C and B2B sales, I build trust, influence decision-makers, and create lasting value for clients and partners.
