  Bridewell uk ltd - t/a cardgains

  Jun 1995 - Dec 2015

  Sales executive

  I successfully spearheaded the recruitment and continuous development of independent retailers, including greeting cards, gifts, garden centres, and post offices across the North of England, utilising the UK's largest independent buying group. My utmost priority was to identify and address the unique requirements of over 400 independent retailers under my watch, and I achieved this by raising the profiles of major industry suppliers and providing them with hot leads. I provided unwavering support to these suppliers until a satisfactory outcome was reached within the retailers' stores. My exceptional ability to build and maintain long-term, trusting relationships with customers and suppliers proved to be my greatest strength.I am proud to have progressed within the company during my 21 years of service. I started in the accounts department, handling bookkeeping duties, but my unwavering dedication and hard work quickly paid off, and I transitioned up the ladder to Marketing. As a Northern Sales Executive with Bridewell UK and Cardgains, I successfully concluded my career, leaving behind a legacy of excellence and remarkable achievements. Show less

Through establishing and nurturing relationships with key customer personnel, I was able to drive loyalty and increase visibility of the brand.
