EXPERIENCE 

Alex has worked from a young age within the family business and took on a managerial role during his time at university.

Utilising the skills he learnt from the family business, Alex helped a small coffee business grow from a start-up to a well-established business through inputting standard operating procedures in stores and business development with wholesale clients.

Continuing his passion for growing businesses, Alex then worked in a fast-paced retail environment, managing a team of 25 and over €10 million in sales. Here he truly learnt the skills needed to manage a multimillion-euro business and brings this understanding to his clients at Benchmark.

CHARITY

As a charity close to his heart, Alex was the Finance and Sponsorship Officer for the UCC Cancer Society while at university.

It was personal. Everybody in the team got involved, they got involved at the right time and Alex was there the whole way.
