Oriel Appoints Former Vodafone Sales Chief to Lead Growth

After doubling its turnover in 2006, Oriel Support has appointed sales mentor Jonathan Viney to lead its next phase of growth.

Working with sales director David Vizard, Jonathan is a change management specialist recruited to work closely with the sales team to conduct a strategic review and develop a road map to exceed the companyís ambitious targets.

Jonathanís background is firmly rooted in formulating sales strategies specifically within the corporate and SME sectors. Prior to joining Oriel, he worked with Vodafone for 15 years, holding a number of senior positions, including Director of International Accounts, Director of Strategic Relationships and Southern Division General Manager.

On his appointment, Jonathan said: ìOriel has a totally unique offering ñ not only is its commitment to customer service is second to none, but the team is 100 per cent dedicated to being flexible and adapting to customersí needs ñ a critical element in the current business environment which is experiencing immense change and consolidation. Add to this the broad range of services on offer, eliminating the extra fees accumulated from signing up to separate services providers, and you have a proposition which is hard to beat.

ìIím proud to be part of a company which has such potential and Iím sure we will realise what we set out to achieve.î

David explained: ìOriel has had an outstanding 12 months. Going forward we will benefit enormously from Jonathanís acumen. He has an outstanding track record in business development and Iím confident he will steer us along a path of sustained growth.î
