As a Key Account Manager within the drinks industry, I was responsible for overseeing over 100 large night time industry venues in the north of England. Ensuring Global Brands products had a presence in these venues and securing contracts with these venues to exclusively stock Global Brands products and not rival brands. The role involved working with existing clients to up-sell products and stock new products from Global Brands, researching and contacting new opportunities and stockists, agreeing, and executing contracts with venues and ensuring client satisfaction with Global Brands and its products. At my time at Global brands I achieved over 20% growth in my book of accounts. The role was field based with one day a month in their Chesterfield head office.
Outside of work, I’m a proud father of two and enjoy spending quality family time. I’m an avid golfer, which helps me stay active and competitive, and I enjoy social gatherings where I can connect with others. I also have a keen interest in emerging technology and new apps, always exploring how they can make life and work more efficient.
