I am responsible for a spend of around £20 million, and work closely with rebated suppliers, improving relationships and negotiating to improve pricing, terms and rebates. I source new suppliers and deal with all packaging supplier issues, pricing and terms. In addition I manage a team of three, whose responsibilities are to competitively price all bespoke spend for the business. I also work directly with the Managing Director and Sales Director, as well as the three independent businesses to ensure purchasing is supporting the growth and direction of the business for the future.I am also part of a development group for Europe and work with them to progress the business on a European level, to identify synergies and further growth strategies.

Packaging Director- Key Accounts, CPD & VTS

May 2010 - Apr 2014
I started PaperlinX working nationally with the Robert Horne Commercial Print department to promote and develop packaging sales both within the department itself and their customer base. The focus of the role was primarily sales, and vastly increasing customer penetration and sales figures. In order to do this I visited large-scale customers with the local sales manager to secure deals and provided auditing or industry knowledge in order to benefit the customer. I provided product training and general support to all the teams, which consisted of around 40 sales managers and 70 internal sales people. This also included regular product and pricing updates and day-to-day problem solving and product help.As part of the Paperlinx Packaging management team I regularly presented my successes to both my peers, the Robert Horne directors and regional sales teams.I was responsible for writing and putting together the company catalogue, and also for choosing the products we stock within it, this involved working closely with both the marketing and purchasing departments.As the business and the team grew I was promoted to a Packaging Director, managing a team of three people which was rewarding; ensuring they were motivated to do their roles to the best of their abilities.I worked on the new brochure alongside planning a two-day conference for the entire business. To ensure success I worked closely with suppliers and our marketing department and believe the days were very beneficial and made a thoroughly positive impact on the delegates. I worked with Key Accounts and was engaged in high-level negotiations and account development. I worked closely with strategic suppliers and believe in building key relationships to improve our purchasing power and the value that these interactions bring to the business.

Regional Account Manager- Packaging

Feb 2007 - Feb 2010
I started Antalis working primarily on new business, which was challenging yet rewarding. This role also allowed me to develop my industry knowledge and awareness, working with a wide range of business sectors. In October 2007 I was given a territory to develop which contained many merchants so it gave me a further understanding of the industry and products. During this time I had shown consistent growth and development of the area achieving significant year-on-year sales targets and growth. I had achieved this by winning and developing profitable new business and negotiating with suppliers to achieve suitable bespoke products at beneficial prices. The area also needed pro-active development ensuring existing customers were buying everything they could from us at realistic prices. I regularly presented to both my peers and customers and also created marketing promotions using a web-based program to reach the entire customer base efficiently and effectively.

The job required me to negotiate long-term deals with along with general account management and advertising. It was both a pressured and rewarding role, which helped me develop and progress alongside regular sales courses and training. I regularly over achieved targets and sat highly on the overall business league table.
