Summary

Started a logistics business at the age of 24 which has grown to multi million pound revenues. A driven professional who thrives on leading people, creating ideas and solving problems.

Following the business sale, I'm now looking for new challenge and a platform to want to take the skills learned over 26 years and bring them to a different organisation and work alongside new people. I want to learn more but also work in an new businesses where I can make a difference.

I'm an encouraging manager and analytical problem-solver with talents for team building, leading and motivating, as well as excellent customer relations aptitude and relationship-building skills. Proficient in using independent decision-making skills and sound judgment to positively impact company success. Dedicated to applying training, monitoring and morale-building abilities to enhance employee engagement and boost performance.
