A veteran general manager from an international blue chip background, Tim applies best practice in a pragmatic way to improve cash flow, revenue and internal efficiency.
 

Skills and expertise:Tim’s driver is helping people. He quickly gains trust to establish team work where pressure may previously have caused division and loss of effectiveness. In turnaround work expert negotiating skills are deployed to startling effect in winning the support of alienated suppliers and partners to buy time and achieve agreed restructure that saves businesses. Once stable, his marketing expertise helps achieve early profit growth from simple low-cost techniques.
