Rising Demand for Sales Leadership Drives New Hires Across Kent, Surrey and Sussex
Demand for experienced sales leadership continues to grow across the South East, as more businesses look for flexible ways to scale revenue without the cost or risk of full-time hires.
Kiss the Fish is delighted to welcome Nick Weston to the team to spearhead our work across Kent, Sussex and Surrey.
With over 25 years of sales leadership experience spanning start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, and enterprise organisations, Nick brings deep expertise in building high-performing sales teams and driving sustainable growth. His background includes working with well-known brands such as Simplyhealth, Allianz, and O2, delivering results across multiple market sectors.
Why demand is growing in the South East
Kent, Surrey and Sussex are home to a diverse mix of fast-growing technology companies, established manufacturers, and professional service firms. Many of these businesses face the same challenge: growth targets are rising, but traditional sales leadership models no longer fit.
Increasingly, organisations are turning to Fractional and Part-Time Sales Directors to gain board-level sales strategy, coaching, and execution without committing to a permanent hire.
Nick’s appointment reflects this shift. His experience allows businesses in the region to access senior sales leadership quickly, adapt to changing market conditions, and build scalable revenue engines.
We’ve had significant demand for our services in the Kent, Surrey and Sussex region. We are delighted that we’re able to secure someone of Nick’s calibre to support our growth in the region. Our blend of high quality sales leaders with practical experience means that we’re able to deliver from the start of any engagement delivering exponential ROI for our clients. Nick has already proved to be a valuable asset to our organisation and we’re excited to see how he will further support our growth across the region.
I’m excited to be part of the Kiss the Fish success story. The region has a fantastic mix of established businesses and high-growth companies. I enjoy working closely with leadership teams to understand their goals, challenges, and commercial reality. Creating the right culture, working practices, and sales focus is what drives long-term success.
My approach focuses on establishing the right culture, working practices, and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in their market. I’m really looking forward to bringing my experience to the region's business and helping them succeed.
