About

Since 2000 I have been involved in most areas of Purchasing, Category Management, Distribution and Sales within the Route and Foodservice Industry. Sales experience includes working for Toops who is a Major Distributor in Foodservice, Stuart Alexander who a Route/FMCG Company and Heinz Watties Foodservice. All of this experience has lead me to have a complete knowledge of both sides of Wholesale Distribution and Sales.
