    • Surflocks UK

      Jan 2004 - Jan 2005
      Owner

      A small import and sales business I created. The company imported a “Surflock‟ from the USA which was designed for securing a person’s surfboard from theft. The product was re-branded, marketed and sold to the UK public. Promotion included; posters, leaflets, website creation and advertising as well as the establishment of a trade link with a shop in Cornwall. Using Excel I managed the books enabling me to track and analyse my financial data. I devised and maintained a database in MS Access of the product and customer data using SQL. In order to increase sales I spoke not only to the public face to face but with major sellers and buyers in the UK and USA, improving my negotiation and communication skills. Show less
