| Introduction | I worked in The Panelling Centre (Part of Grafton PLC) as Commercial Development Manager for the past 15 years. I was made redundant & was accepted as a student in the fantastic DCU Ryan Academy. I studied accountancy in 1990. I have always had an interest in Computers & over saw the IT function in PCL as part of my brief. I project managed the installation of new system with a budget of €300k. I found my real niche in Commercial Development, I created an advertising campaign that generated sales of €10m with a spend of €10k. As well as main stream tactics I think out side of the box. I managed all the main accounts with the highest turnover of €7m over a period of 5 years. I have strong interpersonal skills which I developed from my wonderful parents. |
