Sales Director, FBC Manby Bowdler
We provide legal services, for both individuals and businesses.
2.5 years.
Typical week contains a mix of performance reviews, internal meetings with marketing / finance, client meetings
Solicitors need to ensure they deliver stellar service to all of their clients, all of the time.
There are always opportunities!! Maximising the use of new technology would be the biggest one at the moment
We provide our staff with a great working environment, reward them well and have a great overall package including unlimited holiday
We’re Patrons of Made in the Midlands, a membership organisation that works with manufacturers. This morning I was at one member’s premises explaining the services we provide and getting a better idea of their products. It lasted 2 hours and was very productive.
I get about a 100 a day. I read them all to one level or another. Delete the spam, read those I’m CC’d into next, then organise the others into Action or Information
I spend a couple of nights a week out at functions and on the others tend to work long hours, not returning home until 7:30-8 each night, so I try and keep working at home to a minimum. The balance works for my family, but they are very understanding.
Firm but fair. I have high expectations of the people that work around me.
Change for everyone and definitely costly for those in business
No lowlights, highlights have to be the two national awards we won at Xmas. One for being the Best Employer of the Year and the other for our Outstanding Commitment to Training & Development.
Inboxes with thousands of emails in. Organise them!!
I run with Birchfield Harriers. I’d tell myself to take running more seriously I could have been good at it!!
Running, bass guitar and time with the family.
I think what’s special is the support the business community gives each other. When people ask for advice there always seems plenty willing to offer it.
I ran the 1500m against Steve Cram. He won . . . by quite a bit.
A Lee Child book, a film called Sahara adapted from a book by Clive Cussler and Pete Tong’s latest album.
Chris Martin (Coldplay), Richard Reed (Innocent Drinks), Jo Malone (Jo Loves), Tim Peake and Victoria Wood.
I do a mean Mexican.
