Bio
Diane Fuller
Barrie and I worked together on business transformation at Glen Dimplex Consumer Appliances - Barrie managing the Sales division at Morphy Richards. Barrie joined the team from FMCG and quickly brought himself up-to-speed with consumer electronics. During the time he was with the company, he worked collaboratively, bringing the company to the next level as we worked on SAP implementation and future ways of working. Always looking ahead and producing creative ideas to support the ongoing business transformation. Barrie is a team player who can 'think outside the box' and will be an asset to any company he chooses to work for.

I had the pleasure of working with Barrie as we were building a branded portfolio in meat snacking at Grampian, and transitioning into a new commercial Team at Golden Foods. Barrie was one of the most valued members of the team. Practical, down-to-earth, honest and straight-forward.. he added significant value to our business and the team. He has high levels of emotional intelligence and was always willing to roll up his sleeves to get a job done. I would recommend Barrie to any business.
