Summary

Tenacious and results driven with a focus on providing the best experience for customers.

Predominantly sales based experience, largely within property and financial services, dealing directly with customers, creating excellent relationships, winning trust and therefore sales. Progressed to senior management role, responsible for leadership of a large, successful team providing support and motivation with a foundation of clear process and procedure.

Now seeking a role within the mortgage sector drawing on my sales skills and extensive knowledge of property industry, incorporating previous financial services experience. To this end I have completed CeMAP 1-3 through individual study with very strong results.
