  • Jul 1997 - Jun 2006

  Started with Rosco on a 6 month project as Sales Executive for Scenic Products in NL researching the competition, pricing v USP. I established and maintained a customer base with repeated sales. This leant to an extended contract with responsibilities as the Scenic Specialist active in Benelux, Scandics, Germany, France, Baltics, Hungary, Russia & UK. Sales turnover was established with continued growth in these territories, supported by Scenic workshops and seminars. With the restructuring of Rosco Europe around 1999 I, along with my other field sales colleagues, worked in a structured way to open up the opportunities within each of our territories. I looked at the products within Rosco matching them to specific markets in the industry and allocated new distributors for those disciplines in order to facilitate over all growth. Show less
