Tony Hayes is no stranger to success in the corporate world.
He has accumulated a wealth of business experience while living and working in England and has an impressive track record in
international sales and marketing, contract negotiation, customer service, people management, project management, business planning,
product development and team building.
Having returned to Northern Ireland to establish his own company, Tony is keen to use his experience to help local entrepreneurs grow their businesses beyond their greatest expectations.
As a student at St. Anne’s College Oxford, Tony spent a year teaching English in Austria before joining Iveco Ford Truck and enrolling on their two year graduate training program. During this period and later as Marketing Planning Manager at Daewoo Cars Ltd, Tony gained direct experience of helping grow associated businesses, both large and small, as well as an introduction to manufacturing operations in the UK and overseas.
Most recently Tony was Managing Director of the Automotive Division at JATO Dynamics, a privately owned market intelligence corporation. Starting at the bottom of the ladder as a researcher, Tony worked his way to the very top, helping grow the company turnover from £4 million to £22 million in the process. His multi-lingual talents along with his strong negotiation and people management skills helped build committed teams in 45 countries around the world able to deliver consistently on their goals and objectives.
Tony is making himself at home again along the Ards Peninsula. He enjoys watching and playing various sports, going to the cinema and catching up on lost time with family and friends.
The son of two teachers, Tony’s passion is for developing and helping others. Working with ActionCOACH as a business coach gives him the opportunity to do just that on a much larger scale than ever before. Because being in business should add more life to your years!
