ABOUT KERRY HAMMOND

I am an experienced Principal Consultant and Professional Coach, currently working at SAC Consulting, part of SRUC.I have over 20 years experience in food, drink, hospitality, and tourism industries, and provide advice, coaching and consultancy to a range of businesses across Scotland. Helping others to realise their full potential either in their business, employment, or overall in life is my passion. I provide a blend of consultancy and coaching, depending on the client or project. I am an Insights Practitioner, and in analysing psychometric evaluations, I really get to understand what motivates people, and what holds them back. I provide practical consultancy and training in sales strategy, marketing, brand building, communications & PR. The digital platform is a big passion for me, and I love to help rural businesses particularly, to thrive in the digital space. I am a pitching specialist, and an Advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programmer. I love words and want to help you and your business use them to paint a picture or tell your story. Immediately prior to joining SAC Consulting at SRUC, I was in a senior role, for a well-known Scottish Craft Brewer for almost a decade. I have experience as an Operations Manager, Regional Manager, in Brand Strategy and my final role for this employer was in Global Sales and Marketing. I am a driven, and human-centric professional, with a passion for thriving businesses and healthy people, and a particular specialism within food, drinks, and tourism, I also enjoy multimedia creation, and am currently the executive producer, producer, and host for a number of Podcasts for the Farm Advisory Service. I’m a keen open water swimmer, am obsessed with dachshunds (or sausage dogs), and love to travel to far flung places around the globe, once visiting 52 different countries in one year. I am mostly a remote worker, and cover the whole of Scotland, including the Islands, England, and Wales.
