Declan Fuller

National Wholesale Manager - Rep of Ireland (Bulmers Ltd - C&C Group PLC)

"As Group GM of a large profile City business with 3 hospitality brands to manage, my experience of Ted is one who is a focused, engaging person who shows his strong delegatory style to his management teams and who also has an ability to look at the right strategies to move each brand/business to the next concept that further cements its engagement with a constantly evolving consumer.

Ted is a very good interactor with others; engaged well with suppliers and showed the merits why suppliers and others should invest behind his hospitality brands for mutual benefit.

Ted displays all the tactical, management, communication and strategic skills but also high motivation levels to turn his hand to any industry that seeks someone who can add a major contribution.

His management skills, determination, experience and confidence in the roles he has undertaken make him a winner and an asset to any industry role he becomes involved in."

"Having reported directly to Ted Roberts for over 7 years while working at the Central Park Group, I have found him to be a highly efficient General Manager.

Ted held a thorough understanding of his brands, the industry and the strategies required to make the Group a leader in its Industry. He is a multi-disciplined GM- skilled in all aspects, especially strong in Operations and Finance.

Ted is an excellent negotiator- strategic, analytical and focused on achieving targets whilst always maintaining the integrity of the brand. He is one of the fairest, most ethical people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Decisive, but always willing to listen to suggestions, and always insightful enough to ask the correct questions to ensure the viability of an idea.

His reputation amongst those he has worked with is excellent- he is highly thought of and respected; excellent representation for any brand. Without hesitation I would recommend Ted."
