    A self-starter, with considerable motivation and drive, my experience combines a strong marketing and sales background. This background is complemented by considerable experience in interior design and the construction industry. My experience has been to a large extent in international marketing, sales and management, working closely with retail clients and developers, contractors, builders, electrical and plumbing subcontractors, maintaining a vigilant control for customers, including the management and motivation of sales staff. I have extensive experience in sales, winning business in highly competitive international markets such as Dubai and England, and in shipping and distribution of many different goods to many countries across the world. Good business acumen borne out of experience in a wide range of competitive and tough markets, strong interpersonal skills, an ability to work under pressure and to deadlines mean that I am versatile, reliable, and seek solutions to problems. My considerable practical experience of the principles, techniques and implementation of marketing and sales has given me the confidence to work in many different environments and on many varied products.
