FMBE winners 2022: Brand Ambassador of the Year (Field Sales)

The quality has gone up and up through the last 3 years. Everyone on the shortlist was in someone’s top 2. It is the most requested category to repeat from judges on previous years.  We decided the best feedback piece was to show a selection of comments from around the award judges.

BRONZE Shane Purser, REL Field Marketing, Weetabix

“Shane has achieved some fantastic results down in the Southwest and has received testimonials from stores contacts across all the biggest retailers.”

“Shane has been a pioneer in one of the few areas of the country that is underrepresented in field teams.”

“An example of someone that clearly lives and breathes his daily job, is respected by store teams and whose passion delivers results for both customer and client at every level.”

SILVER Rob Hatch, Powerforce, Haribo/Molson Coors

“Rob is clearly an asset to the team and the clients. His results are strong but what stands out is his desire to support others.”

“Rob has clearly shown that not only is he dedicated, and can he deliver results himself, but he has been able to share his knowledge with colleagues, thus extending skills and performance to the wider team.”

GOLD Chris Skelding, Tactical Solutions, innocent

“Chris’ application was exceptional to read on how he takes on the beast of an account that is innocent, is directly plugged in with the client and received exceptional feedback from senior leaders at his agency and from the client. The sign of an excellent brand ambassador is one who fully immerses themselves into the brand they work for and it’s fair to say Chris has. He gives back learning and coaching to the team which is lovely to hear and takes his responsibilities way beyond the day job to make a credible impact.”

“Chris Skelding has been a fantastic communicator and has been very quick to feed insights back to the client, which I know they’d appreciate. His talent has been noticed and he’s quickly progressed through the ranks.”

“It is clear Chris has a drive to improve himself and others with a lot of training and development started off his own back. The way he integrates himself into the wider client team helps drive results and it is clear he is held in high regard.”

“Chris has clearly shown a pro-active approach to his own personal development. It is clear that he has dedication, commercial acumen, and commitment to develop relationships and cascade knowledge down through the team has resulted in significant gains for all parties.”
