Bio
Kayleigh Meachem
It’s rare that you come across talent and passion like Jon’s. I have had the pleasure of working with and managing Jon for almost 5 years. I have been particularly impressed by Jons ability to handle even the toughest negotiations with professionalism and detail. Jon’s ability to juggle multiple projects whilst managing a team made a dramatic difference to the productivity level of our team and he always went above and beyond to ensure we achieved our goals. Jon is incredibly commercial and market aware, he always puts the customer at the heart of his decision making and both I and the team couldn’t have achieved what we have over the last 5 years without him. He has delivered some of the best results the departments have ever seen in challenging marketing and business conditions, which he should be incredibly proud of. Jon is a strong team player and brings humour and warmth to the team. His ability to remember model numbers from years back is second to none and always left us with a smile. His diligent and hard working attitude makes him a true assets for any position and comes with my heartfelt and sincere recommendation.
