I’m a big sports fan, I won’t say who I support and what sports as we will likely have a rivalry. I am also very active, be that playing football, climbing and there may be a little history of dance.

A little bit of background information:
Joining Air Marketing in 2022 as a BDE, I worked with lots of different B2B customers by generating leads on their behalf. I was then promoted to our SDR in 2023, where I was responsible for conducting outreach and prospecting activity on Air’s behalf. My role involved finding new clients across multiple channels which all have the common goal of growing and closing their pipeline. Since then, I have moved into Project Management.
Jumpstarting my career by going straight into work from college, I’ve learnt that if you want to have a good time you need to work in the right place, which why I sought out Air!

My focus is on exceeding client expectations through clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
A little bit of background information:
Having grown up in Guildford, we made the decision to move to Devon after years of wanting to be near the coast, and starting my career in Exeter seemed to be the best option.
With a plan to study International Business at University, I soon realised that fast-tracking my career and focusing on real-life experience was going to be the best option for me, and so, I entered the world of Sales and Marketing at the age of 20, joining Air Marketing soon after my 21st birthday.
A little bit about your current role:
Having joined Air Marketing in the Business Development Team (2016), I worked my way up through multiple roles within the business, including Account Management, Sales Team Manager and Client Services Director where at the time, I managed our entire delivery operation which consisted of 4 Account Directors and 40 Business Development Executives.
In January 2020, I moved into my current role as Sales Director as part of the Senior Leadership Team, responsible for onboarding new clients and working with Account Management to build high performing outbound strategies and since, my role has transitioned into a more strategic function, sitting across both our Sales and Marketing departments. I ensure that the entire New Business department collectively hit targets across the board, incorporating both services levels and managing both our inbound and outbound channels.
A little bit of background information:
Across various roles I now have over two decades of sales and business development success in providing supply-chain solutions and marketing execution to brands and agencies. I like to understand client requirements, strategy and business models in-depth in order to provide valuable insight and commercially beneficial recommendations. Coaching people and developing teams is something I am hugely passionate about, so I hope to add to the already brilliant positive business culture that Air Marketing has. I can’t think of much that is more fulfilling than sharing and celebrating other peoples’ success.
On a personal level, I picked up the running bug by accident and since then have completed some half marathons and ultra-distance events. I also have a passion for music and have played the drums all my life – they’ve taken me on many great adventures with bands, some of which I can talk about!
A little bit about your current role:
As Commercial Director, I am responsible for controlling Air’s top line, taking a strategic approach to revenue growth, sales and marketing and Air’s service offerings. Working closely with Owen and the leadership team, I’m focussed on delivering a step-change in customer experience, building trust and creating long-term customer relationships. Air’s culture reflects my own values, I’m excited to seize new opportunities, bring a fresh perspective and see how far we will go.
