I am a Director Lettings Negotiator and currently the Number 1 ranked negotiator at Marsh & Parsons, and have been consistently for over Six years now. I began in the industry 9 years ago and set my goals to learn everything I could about the industry, gain sales experience, succeed in promotion to senior negotiator and become the very best in the company. I achieved these goals within 18 months, I then set my target to become and Associate Director which I achieved after three years, I enjoyed the role and set my self the next target of becoming a Director within the company. I managed to achieve this and I am now enjoying the challenges that this role has given me, number one being to stay at the top performing spot in the company. This is by far the most challenging task I have ever had as I must consistently produce the figures each month to remain the highest banking negotiator within the company. I have developed a network of clients and nurtured the relationships that I have built with them in order to maintain a regular deal progression each month, whilst at the same time creating new relationships in order to keep my business growing and succeeding.

Director of the sailing programme consisted of organising the staff members, designing the very best programmes for the participants, developing new programmes of education to work alongside the existing sailing curriculum. Health and safety is paramount when dealing with large groups of participants in an aquatic working environment. There for a large amount of my role consisted of putting in place barriers to enable the most amount of enjoyment at the same time of ensuring safety. Over all this role enabled me to work with a wide range of people in an incredible location, which I am still networking with to the present day.

Dec 2009 - Apr 2010
Working for one of the largest luxury travel companies within the French Alpes I performed many roles including working within the bar of a hotel, ski guiding guests during the day around the local area, and also providing a collection and delivery service to and from the airport in Geneva. All of these roles required an impeccable commitment to customer service in a wide range of situations. One of the main factors in succeeding within this role was time management, I was responsible for managing clients activities as well as ensuring that my tasks were fulfilled to the highest standards. Overall this role developed my customer service skills as well as being able to work with a wide variety of staff in a number of challenging roles.

Aug 2006 - Mar 2010
I first started working at Extreme Sports as a part time sales assistant whilst studying at sixth form college. I progressed to be a member of the sponsorship team which enabled me to work out of the flag ship store whilst travelling Europe competing in the Mens Snowboard Cross European tour. After the time spent abroad I put my knowledge to good use by working in the flag ship store again. This allowed me to develop the sales skills that I possess today. Dealing with customers on all levels from selling soft goods to the younger arm of the client base, to delivering high end service knowledge to the top end of the luxury hard goods market. Extreme Sports was the market leader in Snow Sports and Mountain Bike equipment at the time. The roles that I performed were varied, from performing sales in the shop to conducting manual service jobs in the workshop. I developed a well rounded knowledge of running a company and a sales shop, along with developing growth and overall customer service skills.
