  Undertaking an initial 8 month project working alongside the board of Directors which has now been extended. The aim of the project is to assess and identify routes to expand into the European Market. In the first few months, I have made significant inroads into agencies and importers/distributors within Europe, which has resulted in the first orders being delivered during May 2016. So far, I have been successful in finding agents in Benelux, France, Spain and Switzerland. We have our first trade showroom open in Amstelveen and sales are going from strength to strength, despite the referendum result. We are also in talks currently with agencies in other European and Non-European countries.

  I joined Phones 4u in 1996 as Store Manager for the flagship store in Leeds, Commercial Street.
