1988 – 1991<br />

Sales & Marketing Director<br />
Responsibilities and successes included attracting cash sponsorship (£11m), TV coverage (22 countries) and Royal<br />
Patronage (HRH, The Princes Royal) to financially underpin the World Student Games in Sheffield (1991). The role<br />
was complex and had three prime responsibilities:<br />

(2) resourcing the implementation;<br />
(3) communication with all interested parties.<br />
Apart from main board meetings, I reported regularly to the Sports Minister, local politicians (Rt Hon Richard Caborn,<br />

Branch Manager<br />
My role was to establish Nixdorf Computer in Leeds - from scratch. This involved leasing office premises, fitting out,<br />
recruiting 20 sales people, a team of software and support personnel whilst achieving the profit and revenue<br />
objectives. The Leeds branch gained rapid acclaim by achieving its targets each quarter – in excess of £1m per<br />
quarter.<br />
