  • Jun 2010 - Sep 2014

  I was initially employed to lead in the creation of a separate business division to enable the mobilisation, implementation and operation of a major national client. Through strong leadership, taking clear ownership and delivering clear measurable results to the business, I was offered the opportunity to lead our UK & Ireland operational teams during the early part of 2012 as Operations Director. I was given a clear brief to deliver an aggressive cost reduction and margin development program over a 6 month period. This was successfully executed and as a result I was handed full responsibility for both businesses during that year as Managing Director. A year later I was also made part of the Board of Directors on a European level. - Operating Gross Margin developed from 39% to 66%. - 2.1 million Reduction in employment costs. - 2.3 million Reduction in operational costs. - +5.6 million EBITDA development over 3 years (-37% to +17%). - + 7 million PBT over 3 years (-63% to +1%). - Creation of an outstanding team and a very satisfied client base. - Key input into the creation of our European 2020 strategy (€160m group turnover) Show less
