What I do at The HBP Group

I’m the Chief Commercial Office at the HBP Group. I’m responsible for leading the business development teams across our three core product areas of IT MSP, Finance Solutions and Tourist Attraction Software. My role is focused on ensuring the business development team have the tools and products to grow our business and ensuring those growth plans are aligned with the operational and product development elements of our business. 

What makes me good at my job

I always aim to keep a calm head and look at what we are trying to achieve in the long term, not just today's priorities and demands. 

Why I work at The HBP Group

Being in a business where I can make a direct impact to its success and a business that truly wants to be a success is important for me. I always want to spend my days with people who are great to work with, and HBP is full of them. 

What I do outside of work

When I’m not running after my two young children, Felicity & Harry I’m running in muddy forests and fields in trail run races. When the weather allows you can find me on the golf course! 

Certifications

I’m a chartered accountant and started my career in the accountancy world. It’s definitely a help as a leader of the business and also with us providing finance solutions to our customers. 

Favourite books, podcasts, blogs or influencers

I regularly listen to the Podcast “Leading” that interviews leaders from all walks of life, not just business but also public service, politics and many more. Away from work, I listen to a range football and Newcastle United podcasts.
