Leadership for Sydney James Group
Proven expertise to help you
grow your business
Andrew Allan - Co-Founder
If Andrew could summarize his decade of sales experience into one core principle, it would be this: put your clients first. Andrew's commitment to his clients is exactly why Andrew maintains a positive sales growth track record in every industry he has operated in to date. Andrew's wide-ranging experience includes business-to-consumer sales, agricultural equipment, and pharmaceuticals, with varying degrees of regional management roles, from Eastern Canada to overseeing all of North America.
However, it was Andrew's experience in the human resource and employment industry that sparked his passion for building relationships with entrepreneurs and business owners. Not afraid to think outside the box, Andrew wanted to create a business that could partner with small and medium-sized businesses; one that would not be limited by corporate rigidity and would be able to go above and beyond the orthodox to build prosperity and growth for clients.
And so, Sydney James Group was born.
Much of Sydney James Group success is driven by Andrew and his strong entrepreneurial mindset, which allows him to personally relate with every kind of business owner to find adaptable solutions to their unique and specific business needs. Andrew's value-added mindset sets him apart from other industry leaders because he is able to successfully uncover a client's known and unknown obstacles and improve their business by, not simply providing solutions, but providing client support to ensure those solutions are implemented.
Andrew's client testimonials reinforce that Andrew is industrious, skillful, highly perceptive, and has exceptional people skills. Andrew has coupled this skill-set with his passion to help entrepreneurs and business owners in order to relieve the pain of getting bogged down in important administrative processes and free them to deal and focus on their entrepreneurial strengths on what is important - their business.
Andrew has a strong mantra of "people first" as he believes in developing a strong business relationship focused on the long-term and treating everyone with respect, professionalism, and honesty. This ensures each client receives his attention not only today but also tomorrow.
