I'm offering
I am passionate about building business relationships with the clients that I work with. I am very open, honest and genuine and communicate in a friendly and personable manner; which I find strengthens the bond and the trust that clients have with me. I have a whole raft of objectives that I would like to achieve in my working life and am always keen to learn more about the commercial world around me, so that I can help stimulate fresh thinking and ideas for an improved and beneficial working environment for the clients I look after.

My experience
2019 - ?
job
Owner/Director
Donlan House.
I took an opportunity to take a voluntary redundancy option from Furlong, as the company was in difficulty and on the strength of continued client interest wishing to use my training skills and business development knowledge, I decided to reform my own freelance consultancy business, which also provides me with the chance to look at other options in the market.
