Alan Jeffers (aged 50) started his career in the airline industry in 1975 and since then has enjoyed a high-profile career within the Travel & Hospitality Industries. He joined Utell International in 1990 as Operations Manager UK, based in London. He soon assumed the role of General Manager and was then appointed Regional Director for EMEA overseeing the operations, sales and account management functions for Utell throughout the region. When Utell merged with Anasazi to form REZsolutions in 1997, Jeffers left the company to set up his own business Sackville Solutions which he still owns and runs today; providing interim management, training, mentoring initiatives and outsourcing solutions during periods of organisational uncertainty and change. In January 2000 Jeffers was asked to return to REZsolutions and assist with a due diligence process, while the company was being acquired by Pegasus Solutions. Jeffers was then later named as COO - Representaion Services, where his core skills of assembling and leading effective start-up teams, implementing modern principals to manage and underpin change along with enabling business and process reviews, have been widely utilised.

Jeffers has collaborated with the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) where he has provided business training, support and mentoring to individuals as part of the Creative Pioneers Programme, supporting creative individuals who are in the early stages of their careers.
