I represented Matt Marsh, British Super Bantamweight Boxing Champion as an agent. I designed and maintained an official website, created stationery, e-mails, flyers and press releases.

Arsenal Soccer Schools - Marketing Manager

2001 - 2011

I was responsible for the daily running of the office and staff. I created and implemented marketing strategies from marketing and selling soccer schools, match tickets, merchandise and tournaments, domestically and internationally. I was also wholly responsible for recruiting suitable candidates for sports coaching roles. I had successfully operated a franchise and helped to develop the company to its present size and success.

“What’s been done so far has been very good. Tickets to fights seem easier to shift and I’m in the papers and all over the internet all the time. I can see this going bigger and helping me out a lot.” Bradley Saunders

“Tim spent 6 years from 2004 selling tickets for my professional boxing shows with great success. He is diligent, self motivated and entrepreneurial. He created a website and stationary to secure new customers, sponsorship deals and developed my profile and brand. He has vision and works arduously to see it implemented. He will be an asset to your ambitions.” Matt Marsh

“I have only been using Tim’s services from April 2012 but already I have appeared in the newspapers every couple of weeks. I’m networking with so many different professionals and I can see this getting bigger and better. I’m approached for interviews every other day! He goes above and beyond all the time and the cost is well under the value of the work and effort put in.” Lewis Pinto
