Chief Executive Officer @ MANUP?

About

I accidentally started a men’s mental health charity.That probably sums me up better than any polished LinkedIn bio ever will.I’m the founder and CEO of MANUP?, a national charity trying to change how people understand and respond to men’s mental health.Not by shouting “men should talk”.Most men are already talking in one way or another.The problem is most people are not listening properly.MANUP? funds research, runs weekly groups, hosts public talks and takes men away from routine a few times a year so they can breathe for a minute without life constantly hammering them.No gimmicks.No fake motivational nonsense.No pretending a hashtag fixes anything.Somewhere along the line I ended up winning awards in the mental health space and being named one of the most influential people in the men’s mental health sector.Still feels a bit ridiculous to type that out.I also still work in website marketing and business growth.Mostly because I got bored of watching businesses burn money on marketing that looks busy but achieves absolutely nothing.Ironically, quite a few of the businesses I’ve worked with have gone on to win awards.I never really bothered entering myself into the marketing awards world. Paying £1,000 for a table so everyone can clap while eating dry chicken breast has never really appealed to me.I’d rather my clients win.Most organisations do not need more marketing.They need clarity.They need direction.And they need their website to stop acting like an expensive digital brochure.If traffic is coming in but enquiries are not, something is broken.If an agency sends a 40-page report nobody reads, something is broken.If nobody can explain where your money is going, something is definitely broken.That’s the work I still do.No fake guru nonsense.No vanity metrics.No pretending “reach” pays wages.I help businesses make their websites work harder, their messaging clearer and their marketing less chaotic.Also, if you’re expecting inspirational sunrise quotes every morning, this probably isn’t the LinkedIn profile for you.

This is a role that I fully enjoyed I developed my skills working within a large team whilst also having the ability to lead in a management role. I was quickly promoted, having started as an assistant manager, within a few weeks I had shown my ability in this role and was responsible for managing a store where I increased the gross profit from 10k per week to over 35k in a short amount of time, this stayed consistent for well over 3 months. My success in this role led to me managing multiple stores in the region. • Maintaining 3 to 5 stores which regularly included Chelmsford, Ipswich, Witham and Subury • Maintaining cash flows by accounting for tills, safes, and ordering stock and monitoring staff levels. • Working with extremely tight staffing budgets to keep all stores open from 8am to 8pm. • Training staff on all levels from cleaners, security and cashiers. • Locking up and securing stores. • Keeping track of stock, ordering and reporting back to head office. • Working with team members of all levels to increase profit via improving store layouts, out of store promotion, listing to shoppers and giving them feedback.
