“Previously I was responsible for the management and growth of a number of trade distributors across Europe, Middle East and Africa. Therefore I understand the challenges and complexities of growing trade distributors.
In a Sales Director role I was responsible for a global team of Business Development Managers who had responsibility of growing existing and finding new wholesale distributors. Many challenges were overcome in this role including navigating the complexities of export documentation and also finding the best freight solution based on cost and speed of delivery. An SME I worked for was featured in the Top 200 fastest growing export businesses with 28% growth in export sales.
From these roles I am able to lean on the experience gained and assist SMEs in ensuring they have an international growth strategy either for existing markets or also new territories.
For E-Commerce I have onboarded cross boarder solutions on two occasions for a business that was only selling parts in the UK. Through the solution it overcame the challenges of pricing in local currencies and offered over 100 local currencies, localised payment options, checkouts in native language and live shipping options which also included duties and taxes payable so there were no surprises to the end user when the goods arrived at the destination. This resulted in overseas sales of £300k in Y1 and £1.25M in Y3.”
