Summary

Dynamic and entrepreneurial sales professional with over 15 years’ experience spanning construction, home improvements, and business development. Starting as a labourer before progressing into management and sales with a global tools supplier, I went on to build and scale my own construction businesses, securing contracts with over 60 estate agents and hotels, and delivering projects from luxury refurbishments to new builds. Naturally persuasive, commercially minded, and results-driven, I combine hands-on industry knowledge with strong communication skills to consistently secure new business and exceed client expectations. Now seeking to apply my sales expertise and customer focus within a market-leading company where performance and drive are rewarded.
