Steve Lane

I possess strong leadership and motivational skills and have a drive to achieve personal and professional goals. My abilities have led me to success and advancement within the sales industry and in particular within the charity sector. My experiences throughout my career and travels have given me the patience to be adaptable and help me overcome challenges both personally and professionally.

In the last 5 years I have been travelling in South East Asia visiting Orangutan sanctuaries, back home to the U.K. to work with underprivileged children and moved to Canada to marry the love of my life, I have been very lucky to tick some boxes on my bucket list. I am looking for new opportunities in any industry. I have experience in hospitality, retail, sales, marketing, and I am always willing to learn new skills and gain experience in any industry.

I have Permanent residence status in Canada as of January 2023.
