As a Business Development Consultant with Huthwaite International Alan's role involves securing new business, designing and implementing solutions, and delivering consultancy and training services to a variety of clients. He is passionate about development and is highly motivated to work closely with clients to develop solutions that address real needs and impact on the bottom line.

Alan has a record of achievement in training and development across a range of sectors. He has managed and facilitated programmes at every level specialising in Management Development, Sales Training, Coaching and Performance Management.

Alan's training style is naturally facilitative and motivational. His focus is on helping people to learn and develop their skills leading to improved results. With a key interest in sales training, Alan relishes the opportunity to work with both new and established Sales Consultants and Managers.

Before joining Huthwaite, Alan spent 17 years working with a number of blue chip Financial Services companies. His responsibilities ranged from the design and implementation of a management development strategy, account manager training, coaching and training to support the introduction of a company wide CRM process, the design and delivery of sales training and project management for a main stream sales academy.
