There he was appointed as the Commercial Director for 5 years to turn around the businesses profitability. During his time there he spearheaded strategies to optimise sales, customer service, efficiency and cost control resulting in a major structural change and successful turnaround of a business with enormous heritage which was free falling into decline. 

Whilst most leaders recognise the importance of systems, policies, process and protocols, Maurice’s leadership style puts people first demonstrating the critical need to consider company culture as the force behind success and harmony.

Despite his corporate identity and experience which can all sound a little intense and serious, Maurice’s number one personal value is his passion and zest for life, laughter and people. His mission now is to use his experience to help people consciously choose the results they wish to see in their lives both personally and professionally.

In short he helps people to ‘get off their wheels and live their best life’.
