About Us
"Wheelhouse"
in one's wheelhouse is within one's area of expertise
Our Story
Wheelhouse Commercial is designed to help businesses maximise their commercial success.
In 2020, the height of the Global Pandemic, Wheelhouse Commercial was born.
Putting our combined experience of over 60 years in the sales, marketing and advertising industry together made us realise that we could offer a service that could positively impact other businesses.
Our Experience Across Sales, Marketing & Advertising
With experience of working across multiple continents, a huge variety of clients, an extensive array of media, some of the biggest media houses in the world, wearing many different hats (Sales Director, Account Manager, Designer, Data Analyst) and our parenting skills (negotiator, peacemaker, multitasker, logistics expert, budget balancer), we can offer businesses a huge wealth of knowledge and expertise.
Our Approach to Growing Your Business
Our aim is to grow your revenue, working closely with in-house teams to identify where we can deliver efficiencies that will enable them to concentrate on their core disciplines. At every juncture our purpose is to add value, grow revenues and increase profit for your business.
From project management through to proactive sales activity, we will ensure your profitability grows. One of the things that drives us as individuals and as a business, is being able to work with partners who share the same values such as collaboration, integrity, ambition, and who are empathetic.
As well as all the core business competencies we are also human. We love a laugh, our friends, our families, the odd drink, football, to hit that all elusive hole-in-one and to enjoy life and experience something new every day.

Charlie Said
Managing Partner
Charlie has over 30 years experience working in the commercial teams at some of the UK's largest media companies.
Charlie started managing teams in the late 90s and understands what makes sales teams and salespeople successful.
Charlie has worked across a number of different sectors and is highly proficient across different sales platforms.
Both Rob and Charlie have been personally impacted by situations in their family lives. As such they both strongly believe in helping charities and giving back.
Along with fundraising events, a percentage of all income at Wheelhouse Commercial goes directly to charity.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a life limiting muscle wasting condition affecting around 2,500 people in the UK.
The disease causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting, spreading to all muscles throughout the body.
This devastating disease will eventually rob them of their life, with life expectancy in their 20's to early 30's.
There is currently no cure.
Strength for Stanley is a family fund set up by Rob and his family for their youngest son Stanley, who suffers from this rare genetic disorder.
100% of all funds raised go to Duchenne UK, a charity helping people and families suffering from this terrible illness in the hope of one day soon finding a cure.
