Bio
Andrew Smith
Clare is without doubt one of the most highly motivated and professional people I have had the privilege to work with. A very bright, hard working Senior Manager, who is also extremely personable, Clare is forward - thinking, and very sharp. She demands respect - and gets it, through her commitment to any task. A strategic planner, who can reach across the operational spectrum, Clare has developed an enviable portfolio of experience, which is not limited to that of a Sales Director. She enjoys a challenge, and is comfortable working as a Business Director, Team Leader or a team member. Reflecting a widely held view of her depth of talent as a Business Development Director - and more, I would strongly recommend Clare to anyone.

Clare Riches adds value to a company at every level. From her ability to relationship manage at the very top, problem solve the impossible, write tenders that win business without giving the opposition a chance.... she would grow business in the desert! I was lucky enough to work with Clare for nearly four years, managing her for a large part of this time. As a person she was so determined and had such a get up and go attitude that I could leave her to run knowing that she would make the right decisions. As a team player she added crucial ideas to the pot and wasn’t afraid to back her points up with logic and reason. It was a pleasure to work with Claire and hope I have the opportunity to do again in the future.... Every company that wants to be successful needs a Clare Riches!!!
