  Head of Training

  Reporting directly the Construction Sales Director, and liaising with the Group Sales and Marketing Director and Chief Executive Officer I managed all aspects of the training department. I was invited to run the training division due to its loss making position. I restructured the division and implemented new procedures which resulted in an immediate improvement in performance, showing month on month growth which took us to a profit generating position for the month of November.As Head of Training I managed all team members responsible for the delivery, sales, coordination and administration of training and had full responsibility for the division P&L.I developed and implemented all the current procedures for the operational and sales department. As well as negotiating new contracts with suppliers which reduced Hewden costs by over 30%.This led to the department showing month on month growth in delegate numbers and revenue for the first time since the beginning of 2015 Show less
