Background

About Paul Duffy

I have extensive sales experience with over fourteen years providing solutions to global companies, small businesses and private clients. After graduating, I worked in advertising and recruitment in the UK, before relocating to Hong Kong. After working in sales roles for a wine trading company and a global relocation company, I worked for 8 years selling food and beverage freight forwarding solutions to companies based in HK and Greater China, whilst also supporting our partner offices to develop businesses across Asia Pacific and Europe. I had to build solid partnerships, both internally and externally and quickly gain understanding in a range of different products, whilst identifying new opportunities to drive the business forward. I relocated back to UK in 2015, and worked for a small artisan beverage producer, before deciding to challenge myself by exploring a different career opportunity. I successfully completed a PGCE Primary course with Canterbury Christ Church University and worked as a Primary school teacher, in a specialist resource provision for Autistic children. After a 5 year hiatus, I have realised that my passion for sales remains and I am hungry to pursue opportunities in this area. I have exhibited that I am able to adapt to change, through moving overseas and returning to the UK and challenging myself with a change of career.
