I am looking for opportunities in the sales and marketing industry. I have worked in this area for 5 years progressing through a management programme to open my own company; primarily managing events and sales for a beauty brand in North West England. After relocating back to London I am excited to seek a new challenge and progress my career even further. I feel that I would be an asset to your company. I am committed, competitive and driven with a proven track record in sales. I have experience in building and managing successful sales teams and have promoted products in events based marketing and business to business sales throughout the UK. If you require any further details please do not hesitate to email me. I have a full UK driving license and am available for interview with reasonable notice. I was a professional footballer for Chelsea Youth Team and Nottingham County Football Club until the age of 21 years old. My career was halted through injury but I continued to play football at a semi-professional level before retiring myself to concentrate on my sales & marketing career. I feel that my background in Sport has instilled in me drive, commitment and discipline. I have had a strong work ethic from a young age and have always understood the importance of working as a team. I pride myself on giving 100% to anything that I put my mind to. At the age of 24 I relocated to Manchester to progress my career. I worked as part of a team opening a new sales office. I made the decision to live independently in a City I had never even visited, working on 100% commission to support myself. This is indicative of my motivation, commitment and self-belief. I have worked 6 days per week for the past 5 years regularly working 14 hour days to progress both myself and other team members around me. I opened my own sales office aged 26 years old and have succeeded in gaining experience running a successful sales and marketing business.
