Abbseal (UK)Ltd.
60K basic plus car, bonus, pension etc
After selling off SEAC as an MBO to parts of the existing management structure, I was very pleased to return to the glass industry to help guide Abbseal through a tremendous period change.
At Abbseal I enjoyed full responsibility for all sales activities including a team of 6 field sales and an estimating/technical team of 5.
I was pleased to have taken Abbseal from a sales intake of 1.2 million per month to just over 2.0 million.
Due to insufficient funding, inefficient production practices, a dramatic increase in raw material prices and a failed meger attempt with another manufacturer. Abbseal went in to administration on 18th December 2006 at the decision of the venture capital firm that owned all the assets.

SEAC Ltd.

An excellent opportunity to join SEAC and guide them through a transition period where not enough attention had previously been paid to new product development.
Sales of approx 5 million with reasonable margins but my final recommendation was the disposal of the business by the parent company to an MBO as SEAC wass really a non core business for them.
