Having worked in the B2B Environment for the past 36 years I am delighted to be involved in the Business Wales Mentoring Programme.
After training as a Metallurgist at British Steel Port Talbot, redundancy forced a change in career to the world of Sales and Marketing.
For the first 20 years I worked for a 100+ employee company whose head office was based in the West Midlands being employed as a Business Development Representative in South Wales specialising in Industrial and Commercial Storage and Interior fit outs.
I developed a strong and stable career with Xerox over 20 years in various senior management positions. I have a diverse set of transferable skills and considerable experience that I can use to help others. I am an enthusiastic experienced business professional, confident leader and inspirational communicator. I have a demonstrable track record of effectual national and global service and account management, exceeding performance targets and delighting customers.
Hello I am delighted to be a mentor with Business Wales.
A senior hospitality and tourism operator with multi-site, multi-brand and turnaround experience. I excel at supporting the creation of winning teams focused on quality and exceeding expectations: delivering return to investors and building brand value. Key strengths include: decisive leadership, analytical and strategic managerial skills, concise and honest communication complimented by an engaging style which inspires confidence.
Prior to retirement (in 2014) I was Managing Director of a medium size company in South Wales for 20+ years following a prior career in manufacturing and sales management roles and also including earlier senior finance roles (FCMA qualified).
I have extensive exporting experience both in Europe and the USA and have travelled widely in these markets and elsewhere globally.
It is a privilege to be selected as a Mentor for Business Wales!
I have worked as an executive leadership coach and organisational change consultant since 1995. Before that I led my own, very successful, business in New York. I have a proven track record in working with senior leaders to measurably improve business results. I do this by improving the quality of the conversation’s leaders have with each other and their people – whilst working on their ‘live’ business issues and challenges.
Hello!
I hope that I’ll be able to help you to take your business to the next stage.
Although I have an MBA and an ILM level 7 Diploma in Executive Coaching and Mentoring, I think you’ll find that it is my experience in running and growing organisations as diverse as a healthcare company, a construction trade association and a consultancy, that is of real practical benefit.
Welsh Speaker - Alun spent over 20 years working in the public sector in North Wales managing staff and projects within the culture and heritage profession on Anglesey.
