Tell us about your role here at FASTSIGNS Manchester

I joined FASTSIGNS Manchester in February 2019 as Business Development Manager and recently progressed to Head of Business Development and now lead all our sales activities and the Business Development team. Day to day, my role involves liaising with our existing customers and managing new enquiries. Ultimately, it’s my role to help our customers improve their brand awareness and drive increases in their sales through unique, eye-catching and innovative visual graphics and signage solutions.

What do you like most about your role?

The best thing about my role is the team that I get to work with. We are a small, work-family who are all laser focussed on providing the best customer experience and end product to our wide range of customers. I enjoy the huge variety of work in my role - no two jobs are the same and this keeps me on my toes. I also love managing larger projects that start from nothing, perhaps a very basic idea and then seeing them through to fruition. Illuminated signage is a personal favourite of mine!

What are you passionate about and why?

Outside of work I am very much a family man, the very proud father of three amazing boys. We are all football mad and you will ALWAYS find me on the touchline cheering on the boys at the weekend, come rain or shine. When I get the opportunity I am also a keen angler, a bit of a foodie and enjoy ruining a good walk with a round of golf from time to time.

I opened FASTSIGNS Manchester in 2010 following a successful 20+ year career in Sales. Today, I work with the team to develop and implement Business Strategy and oversee all operations including Sales, Marketing, Production and Finance.

What do you like most about your role?

I feel very proud of what we, as a team have achieved. Opening FASTSIGNS Manchester in the depths of a recession was a huge challenge but we have proven that, over the years, we have a strong and resilient business with a focus on exceeding customer expectations. I love the fact that we are able to work in partnership with our customers to develop solutions that ‘wow’ them.

What are you passionate about and why?

I enjoy working closely with the team here at FASTSIGNS Manchester - we have a small, highly dedicated team who want to do their very best to make a difference in an industry that is highly competitive and isn’t well known for great customer service. Outside of work, I love traveling and like to get away from the Manchester weather as often as I can. I’m also a keen aviation enthusiast and obtained my private pilot’s licence back in 2005.

My role at FASTSIGNS as Inside Sales and Customer Services Manager is very varied. I work with the Sales team helping them to manage and respond to customer enquiries. We receive enquiries on-line via our website, email and telephone and if required, we will arrange a customer site visit so we can discuss options face to face, in more detail. I also manage our ‘work in progress’ customer list, ensuring all internal departments and customers are updated throughout the lifecycle of an enquiry - from assessment, quotation, design, production through to despatch/installation.

What do you like most about your role?

I enjoy how varied my job role is - no two days are the same!. Whilst there is structure to my day, my plans can change in an instant depending on what’s happening and the customer requests we receive throughout the day. I enjoy my role and love the team I work with - we look after and support each other.

What are you passionate about and why?

When dealing with customers I try to be as courteous and helpful as I can. I believe that in life, you should treat people how you would want to be treated yourself and this is my mantra in my role. I want our customers to have the very best experience and build their trust so we become their preferred signage supplier.
