About

As a results-driven sales director of a business that has recently been placed in the Sunday times 100. I take pride in leading and motivating a high-performing sales team of 36 sales professionals. Driving the successful sale of 5000 vans in this current year and a wide range of purchase options, including finance lease, hire purchase, outright purchase and contract hire. I believe in leading from the front and make sure I get stuck in on a daily basis to ensure that my team and I are well aligned with the goals and ambitions we have set.
