IDENTIFY TALENT, DEVELOP SKILLS, REALISE POTENTIAL
I'm Andy Brown, owner of First Potential. Please take a look around the site and get familiar with what help and support I can offer.
If you want to get in touch to find out more, or with an enquiry, please do - I look forward to hearing from you.
Everyone has talent and potential.
All organisations have potential and a need to attract, hire, develop and manage talent to help achieve that potential.
I established First Potential Ltd in 2005 as a Talent Consulting business to:-
I specialise in providing these services for commodities and energy trading businesses and have done so in many regions of the world.
I work on the principles of -
Partnership - building strong relationships and investing time with clients to understand their business, culture, challenges, and desired outcomes.
Solutions - working closely with my clients to develop and deliver the solution that works best for them; there are no 'off-the-shelf' packages, all is bespoke to fit.
Results - we agree early on what success will look like and how we'll measure it. And I work with you to ensure that the desired results are secured.
As we work together, we'll inject some good humour and have some fun as we go!
I have over 30 years’ experience in Learning and Organisation Development roles across multiple
industries and size of organisation, including financial services, technology, oil & gas and
commodity trading businesses. I have operated successfully in both global, strategic roles and more localised operational roles; my focus was and is on delivering practical solutions that add value to the organisation.
Since launching the business in late 2005 I have focused most of my activities in the energy and commodity trading and supply businesses. I work with front line trading, commercial and distribution operations, supply teams, chartering and freight teams, financial and mid / back office teams to help them identify, assess, recruit and develop their key talent.
Outside of my professional life I enjoy the outdoors and sporting activities, either alone or with others.
I enjoy spending time with my family, and continue to be challenged by the rigours of parenthood, and recently grand-parenthood!
