Connor Millar
Massive thank you to Ward for putting on a Sales and Business development zoom call for me last week. I truly learnt a lot and he also gave me a lot to think about moving forward in sales and how best to improve my skills and continue to grow as a sales rep. I would highly recommend anyone to speak to Ward if you want to learn more about sales and business development. Thanks Ward, I much appreciated your time.
Gordon Gilmour
Ward is honest and direct in his approach. His willingness to engage, assess and understand the challenges facing SME’s I found hugely influential. When providing assistance, you are given an indication as to the wealth of experience he has accumulated within the industry. He was a pleasure to work with.

I am once again the sole owner of the business after buying out my long term business partner, Ricky Chandler in August 2019. I deal with the new and prospective retail members of the STAG Buying Group as well as many of the new suppliers. I set the strategy and direction of the business and I'm very hands-on with our retail members and trade suppliers.

I sold tennis and squash Rackets for Dunlop including the famous Max 500GS squash racket, the first of the injection moulded frames. I also sold the Tennis Max 200G favoured by John McEnroe and Stephi Graff. I traveled all over Scotland and Northern England selling to sports shops like Sports Shop Fife, Greaves of Glasgow, Raquets Aberdeen now Thistle Sports, Dixons of Newcastle, Jack Hatfield in Middlesborough and TY McGurks in Sunderland. I also sold Dunlop Darts, Table Tennis and Luggage. What happy memories thrashing my poor blue Ford Sierra 1.6L up and down the A1. . Show less
