It started with a simple idea: sales, marketing, leadership and business growth should help people grow.

I’ve spent my whole career face-to-face with customers, building businesses, driving sales, growing market share, leading teams, winning awards, and learning what really moves the needle. Over the years, I’ve managed teams as small as 15 and as large as 1,000. Whether running my own company or leading regional managers, one truth always stood out: people come first.

That’s why, on 21 September 2019, I launched Ultimate Leadership Training Ltd, a business dedicated to helping sales teams, marketers, and business leaders grow with confidence, energy, and a focus on real results - not outdated pressure tactics or quick wins that don’t last.

Our approach is built on one powerful belief: 👉 If you invest in your people, the performance and profits will follow.

When your sales team’s drive and values truly match your business goals, everything flows - from motivation and customer relationships to growth and bottom-line success.

This philosophy was inspired years ago by Olympic gold medallist Ben Hunt-Davis and it still drives everything we do.

Today, Ultimate Leadership Training is powered by a brilliant team of five. Our superstar VA keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes, while our four outstanding training consultants deliver the programmes I can’t personally run, or the sessions that need specialist expertise. Together, we help businesses across the UK and beyond transform how they sell, market, and lead.

We don’t just teach sales techniques or marketing plans 👉 We help people become the kind of professionals customers trust, colleagues respect, and competitors can’t beat.
