Sales has always been my strong point, and the BBC Apprentice 2013 really made me see that this should be the focus of my business. Having over 15 years experience working in sales environments at all levels, my passion is to help businesses grow through the sales training, coaching and recruitment that I provide. Delivering an impromptu motivational speech on an Apprentice task, has also led to me becoming a regular Motivational Speaker throughout the UK. I talk openly and honestly about overcoming adversity, learning from failure, the importance of self-belief and finding your reason to be motivated.

Managing Director @ At Prime, we look at sales recruitment differently. That’s why we offer a unique alternative to the traditional sales recruitment agencies. Our focus is on spotting Prime talent. Those we find get invited to one of our Prime Zone training days where we get to see them in action, seek out the sales potential and build on it. To make it even better, we remove the risk from recruitment too by working closely with our clients to guarantee our candidates are successful in their business, supporting their development through the first year of employment. If you’re not looking to recruit, but you are looking to train your current sales teams, we can help you with that too. We offer both generic and bespoke sales training courses to best suit the needs of your business.

Having achieved great success throughout the series, breaking sales records and delivering a key motivational talk on an Away Day task to guests from Barclays, I went on to launch NWC consultancy and now speak at many of the leading business shows and expos across the UK. I openly share my journey and experience having overcome adversity to get to where I am today. With a background in sales, where commitment, determination and self-belief are paramount to success, I talk about the best routes to sales success, the importance of motivation and how to use failure to get you closer to achieving your goals. I currently speak at Business Expos, Company Conferences, Networking Events, Team Building Days, Universities and Schools.
