CITY
Financial recruitment in the 90s was hard-core and this is where my work ethic comes from. I studied English (in Wales, ironically), and then lived and worked in London. My clients included CIBC, Scotiabank, Barclays and LSE.
ADVENTURE
At the end of 1998 I packed my bags and set off around the world in search of adventure. I still believe travel is important: I love experiencing other cultures and landscapes, the energy and variety feed my creativity.
PROPERTY
When I returned from my travels, I worked in marketing and then property. In 2001, I was headhunted to build and run a lettings business for Hampshire's leading property company. It was profitable within the first year of trading.
LEGAL
In 2014 I joined an online conveyancing services firm. I started as a territory sales manager, was promoted to key account manager, strategic business developer, supplier manager then product sales and marketing.
LAUNCH
Hoyland Marketing was created, like so many good ideas, after redundancy. I saw a gap in the market helping businesses make sense of marketing; cutting costs and increasing profit by creating plans and structure for development.
