Real experience of managing successful relationships at all levels with large national organisations and strong financial management understanding.
A natural "trading" ability and high entrepreneurial capability.
A "Can-Do" attitude with a down to earth, pragmatic management style with professional "corporate" experience and although a strategic thinker, you must be prepared to roll your sleeves up and be hands on as and when required.
