Shelly Posthuma de Boer

Business Development

Hi! I'm Shelly Posthuma de Boer and my background is sales and marketing, working as a National Account Manager for a non-food product range, and dealing with the major supermarkets, DIY Stores and Wholesalers. After eight years in that environment, I wanted an exciting new challenge and I certainly have that with Focus! My role here is to seek out and develop new business, within Merseyside and Greater Manchester, as well as assisting with some of the training - which I really enjoy. How many people can say that this week they may be driving out to visit clients, working in a comfy office or batting around the farmland on a buggy with a group of delegates on an orienteering course!?

When I'm not working, you'll either find me road-running, doing aerobics, sitting with my nose in a book or spending time with my hubby and friends. I also enjoy creative writing, drawing and finding new places to eat! My philosophy in life is if you have the opportunity to experience a new challenge then take it -even if it's outside your comfort zone!
