You can also find more about me through the following links: Born in North London in the early sixties, I am the second of three boys. My father worked as a bus driver, while my mother was employed in a factory in Tottenham, London. I gained valuable experience working for a renowned high-street chain before transitioning into sales. This journey eventually led me to a drinks company and a local newspaper, where I honed my skills and developed a love for selling. Recognizing the synergy between retail and sales, I was headhunted to contribute to the establishment of a business that brought together my expertise in these areas. Within a year, I acquired the business outright and went on to successfully create and sell multiple companies within my field of expertise. Over the course of my career, spanning more than 35 years, I have dedicated myself to the UK retail and shopping centre industry. Specifically, I have focused on generating income through third-party activities in mall areas, such as product demonstrations, kiosk operations, booths, and short-term pop-up retail businesses. My clientele has included prominent shopping centres across the UK, including Lakeside, Bluewater, and Westfield, Simon Malls, Brookfield, CBL as well as centers in Dubai, Jordan, and Abu Dhabi. Noteworthy companies I have worked with include Xerox, T-Mobile, Superdrug, Arabian Oud, and BT B&Q Popable.com PicknWatch. I firmly believe in the power of a positive mental attitude and its impact on achieving success.
