This candidate has approached us here
at AV Jobs very recently; he is an outstanding professional and I was
personally impressed by the rapid career progression and major successes
demonstrated on his CV.
This candidate’s career so far has
been focused on technology for the home; after leaving school with good GCSEs he
went straight into work with a retail business selling consumer electronics to
the general public; he soon sent on to lead their Custom Install business
achieving £200K+ sales per annum (in 1999 -2002!).
After his initial success in retail
and then Custom Install, this candidate then joined a major Audio Visual
technologies manufacturer. Again, his story here is one of unbroken success,
starting in a business to business field sales role, he exceeded all targets
given to him and achieving 100% growth for his area over his three years in the
role.
He then progressed into the role of
Category Manager, responsible for budget of £10Million, Profit & Loss and
managing a field sales team, pre- & post sales teams and the stock budget
and profile. Again, he delivered growth in line with the Board of Directors
aspirations.
Following this he took on the role of
Custom Installation Manger, with responsibility for P&L, the field sales
team, pre- and post-sales teams, marketing budget and the product portfolio aimed
at the UK Custom Install market. Further successes here saw him promoted twice,
first to National Sales Manager, and then onto the Board of Directors as
Channel Director.
After a very successful 10 years with
the same employer, this candidate left following the company restructuring and
contracting as they left or reduced their exposure to some sectors.
This candidate is now actively looking
for his next challenge where he can make use of his skills in management
(sales, personnel/team management, category/product management and service
delivery), his commercial acumen (spotting opportunities in niche markets with
new technologies), his own strong sales skills and his extensive knowledge of Home
Automation and Custom Install technologies and their application. He has
extensive knowledge of this market place and good contacts he can work with in
the future.
Based in the South of England, this
candidate is flexible on the location of his role; he is open to possibilities
in either manufacturing, distribution or reseller environments. His previous
OTC was c £100k, car and benefits. His main priority is to find a role that
excites him and allows him to work to his full potential and prove his worth to
a new employer.
