  Jan 2008 - Jan 2014

  Sales Executive

  I have actually been involved in Engineering since leaving school many moons ago, served a 4 year Engineering apprenticeship with CENTRAX, Newton Abbot and passed out as a Mechanical Engineering Technician. I also incorporated, and passed Motor Vehicle Technology during the latter part of my apprenticeship to incumbus the direction I was taking within the company. This was the Heathfield Truck and Earthmoving plant Division where I enjoyed 15 years as a Service Engineer, Demonstrator, Parts and Service Supervisor and Technical Sales Manager until the sad insolvency of this division in 1991. Had a year as a Financial Advisor with the PEARL ASSURANCE GROUP gaining quality financial experience.Joined TEIGNBRIDGE PROPELLERS in 1992 as a Sales Engineer, enjoying a very successful 13 years, travelling the world carrying our numerous and varying business transactions, setting up and manning marine shows. The business profile changed somewhat when TPL became part of the Brunswick Group, during which time I became the Account Manager for the American part of the operation successfully maintaining prestigeous accounts such as Searay, Hatteras and U.S.Marine. An unfortunate redundancy situation then saw me making the switch to BT MARINE PROPULSION, where I enjoyed 3 quality years getting back to marine technology, customer relations and equipment procurement and sales.I was then head hunted by Michigan Wheel Marine, whom I joined in 2008 as a Technical Sales Executive, involved in all aspects of Sales and customer service including quotation building and technical input to assist in the sale. I planned and carried out company visits in UK and abroad, organising and manning trade show stands, providing a good customer service as my duties involved dealing with people at every level of the marine world! Then the European/Middle East operations became MMPI..... Show less

  Jan 2015 - now

  Senior Technical Sales Engineer

  Left my position with Michigan Wheel Marine in January 2014 after 5.5 very successful years in my Technical Sales role to further, and enhance my career and ambitions, and soon found and took up a very rewarding Engineering Research position for a small Research and Development Company based in Devon. Towards the latter part of the year, my previous employers at TEIGNBRIDGE identified myself as someone that they would really like back on board as part of an enterprising team. I was offered a senior position, with a clear career path for a now very well structured organisation, geared for the future! With my proven track record, I was therefore able to easily make this transition and I am now very settled and carrying out a function that certainly suits my skills and is both rewarding and very enjoyable, how refreshing, thank you!
