My Background
An "Order to Payment" expert, working on implementing efficient operational procedures or improving existing procedures for a business, incorporating effective and simple to manage credit control facilities.
Alex can demonstrate bad debt recovery & bad debt prevention methods, his specialist sector being businesses in the food supply chain.
As an experienced SME owner, Alex also has a broad depth of knowledge in running a busy day to day business operation and can take a generalist approach to identify areas for improvement. Cost reduction, system and process implementation, staff management, sales, purchasing, logistics, distribution, recruitment, book-keeping.
Alex has held senior management positions for the last 20 years, 10 of those as a business owner in the fresh produce sector as a foodservice supplier employing over 20 staff.
Business ownership naturally honed Alex's particular focus on operational and credit management and he is an expert in managing cash flow and ensuring preventative measures are in place for avoiding bad debt.
Alex can demonstrate how to devise and implement processes and systems that allow a business to run independently of the owner allowing more time to be spent working on the business, rather than in it.
