About
I am a highly motivated and successful pharmaceutical representative with 25 years experience. I have worked as a GP/Secondary care specialist, Hospital specialist and Key account manager. I have worked in various therapy areas including radiology, anaesthetics, women's health and CNS.
I also a background in ophthalmology. I have worked territories covering Scotland, NI and England. I have also worked in F2F sales with Pure pet food. I am currently the team leader for the charity Dogs Trust.
I also have a large amount of experience in retail sales as i have worked in the barras, deli and debenhams as a student. I am based just outside of Glasgow so I have easy access to airports and motorways. I have worked in the sales arena for more than 30 years now in various guises, most recently charity fundraising.
I am looking to find an appointment that will allow me to spend more time at home and less travelling across large territories, whilst utilizing my past experience.
