About

With Over 24 Years Sales Experience Selling Abrasives, Hand Tools, Power Tools and Power Tool Accessories, I am a Highly Motivated and Enthusiastic Individual, with a Strong Commercial, Marketing, and Technical Background. I have good Commercial Awareness, am Customer Focused, and am a Highly Organised Team Player. I have the ability to Negotiate at all levels, and to develop Strong Business and Personal Relationships. I am Proactive, Self Motivated, and can work effectively both alone, and as a Team Player. The Types of Market I have experience selling to include:- Agricultural, Automotive, Building Supplies, DIY, Engineering, Fixings & Fasteners, Hand Tools, Hire & Supplies, Ironmongery, Industrial Supplies, Marine, Power Tools, Welding. I am able to offer Abrasive Wheel Training on behalf of my customers to end users (chargeable fees apply) to ensure the users are both mounting and using abrasive wheels, grinding wheels, wire brushes and diamond blades safely - and are using suitable PPE accordingly. If you are interested in reselling Abrasives and Power Tool Consumables, I can help you maximise the impact in your Trade/Retail displays and thus increase your sales in these products, whilst endeavouring to ensure you make decent margins and get repeat business from your customers. Don’t hesitate to get in touch for a chat... and a coffee! Away from work, I enjoy Photography (particularly Landscape Photography - nothing quite beats the feeling of "being out there") and have both CPAGB and AFIAP Accreditations. I also converted a Volkswagen T5.1 panel van to a full off grid Campervan with the idea of freedom and photography in mind.
