As the Sales Director at ABE Social, I'm dedicated to acquiring new clients and driving revenue growth while overseeing our teams work to ensure exceptional service delivery and achievement of objectives/targets. I collaborate closely with the team to set clear objectives and KPIs while providing guidance and resources to our sales team members to help them succeed.

After finishing my studies at Cirencester College, I successfully interviewed for a Sports Development job. My role included organising and taking extra-curricular activities whilst also arranging events. I was situated in an office with senior members of staff, which enabled me to mature as a person and grow my skillset. I undertook a business administration apprenticeship qualification while in this role too.

During my work experience at FGR, I worked in the clubs media office and got stuck into various tasks. We travelled up to Everton's training Ground, Finch Farm, to watch and take notes on Forest Green 21's v Everton 18's. The next day I then wrote a match report of the game which was published in local news articles and on the clubs Website. I also wrote up a first team match report from their pre season tour in Portugal. As well as the above, I was assigned tasks such as writing up previews for the match-day programme while also managing the twitter for the clubs pre-season match v Birmingham City.
