David Powell
Regional Director – Yorkshire & North East England
I have a great track record in adding quantifiable commercial value across many sectors, working with organizations from SMEs to large corporates. My goal is to embed the right attitudes, strategies, skills and processes that will deliver results for the long term. I’ve learned as much from my mistakes as I have from my successes and use the hard-won experiences and insights from both to deliver transformation for your business.

Summary
I started my career in blue-chip FMCG marketing before seeing the light and establishing my career within strategic account management and sales, rising to PLC board sales director. That early marketing experience taught me the incredible value of aligning the whole commercial process to achieving business goals and making sure that everybody is rowing the boat in the same direction.
Working in a variety of sectors including food manufacturing, IT, construction and textiles has equipped me with the skills to quickly grasp the key dynamics in a business and ask the questions that challenge and expand understanding.
Happiness for me is working to build and foster a great sales team, a great sales culture, and a great sales performance.
It’s always hard work but it’s also hugely rewarding and great fun.
