Dale's BIOGRAPHY

In a career that has spanned over three decades Dale has influenced the fortunes of many companies and individuals. From new start businesses and entrepreneurial spirits to well known corporate clients, across a broad range of industries and sectors. During this time he has also served as an officer and board member of several companies.

Many have described Dale as one of an increasingly rare breed of classically trained marketing consultants, whose down-to-earth approach, personal attention, knowledge and experience delivers results for the clients he works with that many would consider extraordinary.

“Dale Howarth is an amazing individual...
...he makes every minute count.
If you follow his advice success is inevitable.”
Richard Goldsmith

Dale has a genuine passion for his chosen subject – the practical implementation of sales and marketing strategy to accelerate a company’s fortunes. When he is not adding value to a clients business or addressing an audience he takes time out to further develop his understanding, knowledge and skills, as Dale puts it ‘the day I stop learning, is the day I die’.

Born in 1962 Dale lives on the beautiful Isle of Wight just off the south coast of England, with his wife of 25-years and two daughters. From the age of 7 he worked within the family business and never looked back.

As a business school graduate and one of an increasingly rare breed of classically trained business consultants, his career as a consultant and business speaker takes him away from the Island to work with clients and to deliver seminars, workshops and key-note addresses across the UK, Western Europe and North America. He is also a business mentor with The Princes' Trust a charity that helps young people overcome barriers and get their lives working.

In 1993 Dale founded Jigsaw Sales & Marketing Consultants a consultancy that understands, more than most, the practical realities of developing a business in today's increasingly competitive business environment.

In 2006 he launched Profit-Discovery a unique approach to bringing innovative, practical, entertaining and motivational business seminars and training workshops to a wider business audience.

Dale is a popular and accomplished speaker, who makes friends in every audience he addresses. His seminars, workshop presentations and key-note addresses include the much acclaimed ‘Turning Customers Into Gold’ in which he delivers 12 practical and down-to-earth lessons that can be used in any business, to outmarket, outsell and outperform the competition and ‘Make It Happen’ providing the knowledge and tools necessary to more rapidly accelerate company’s fortunes.

“Dale Howarth is one of a few speakers who
can consistently fill a venue and his enthusiasm for
his subject knows no bounds”
Paul St John Martin
Founder member of the Professional Speakers Association

As a sought after writer, Dale has written for many respected business publications, his thought-provoking article ‘Turn up the volume’ being widely syndicated.

“Every plausible definition of good marketing
places customers at its heart. Whichever way you look at it,
whether you love them or hate them, satisfying them is the
surest route to improved sales and bigger profits.
Customers feed you, clothe you and pay your bills.”

With a career that spans over 3 decades it's not surprising that Dale has worked closely with a wide range of companies and organisations large and small, across a broad range of industries, helping them to stay ahead of their competition, this includes: Alfa Romeo, Barchester Group, Rexam Plc, DFAO, Moore Stephens LLP, RBS Group, Dyer & Butler, Foursome Investments, Logical Transport and American Express Private Bank.
