Bio
Katie Driver
I have had the pleasure of working for Will since 2004. He is both a talented sales person and an excellent sales director, with a track record of growing and protecting revenues across a multidisciplinary team. Confident and highly motivated, he looks to instil those facets in his teams. Whilst extremely sales focused, he is supportive of his team and always able to offer insightful guidance and advice. Will is an effective problem solver and decision maker, and actively seeks to drive process improvement across departments. His straight-talking approach means that he is well liked throughout the organisation but isn't afraid to advocate change in order to achieve a sale or solve a customer problem. He is an excellent networker and has always maintained valuable long term relationships with clients who trust both his ability and integrity. With Will's experience of directing successful sales teams, matched by incredible drive and ambition, he will be an asset to any organisation. I have no hesitation in recommending him and would welcome the opportunity to work for him again in the future.
