I am currently an Area Sales Manager responsible for a team of ten Field Sales Representatives. The geography that my team cover is the East End of London and Essex. Our primary goal is to establish ITUK brands as the consumers first choice. This is being achieved by driving the availability and visibility of the right brands in the right outlets all of the time.
After joining Imperial in 1996 as a Territory Representative; I spent just under three years working with the Independent Trade all over London and Hertfordshire. In 1999 I was seconded for nine months to work as a Key Account Executive charged with developing our business in the regional vending channel. Once my secondment was completed I was promoted to National Accounts as a National Account Executive (NAE). The role of an NAE was very diverse, I worked with accounts in the Travel Retail, Forecourt, Multiple Convenience, Multiple Retail Grocer and Distributive sectors of the industry. In 2004 I was promoted to Account Manager and spent the next two years handling the National Distributors in both the Cash & Carry and Wholesale sectors of the market. In April 2006 I was once again promoted, this time to Area Sales Manager for the East End of London and Essex.
