Great salespeople rarely stay on the market for long, so we go and find them.

The people behind performance
Your next great salesperson is probably already selling.
The strongest salespeople aren’t always applying. We go and find them.
Experience matters, but performance in sales goes deeper. We look at commercial instinct, communication, resilience, relationship-building, track record and the ability to create and close opportunities — the qualities that determine whether someone can genuinely perform in the role.
We qualify the person behind the CV.

Tyrone Mostyn — Founder
Built from inside the industries we serve.
One Up Partners was built on firsthand commercial experience across sales, equipment, transport and operational environments. I bring five years in automotive, two years in commercial equipment sales, three years across heavy vehicles and transport, and three years within logistics and warehousing environments.
I know the commercial pressures, the customers and the difference a strong salesperson can make. From our first conversation to the final appointment, you work directly with me. I take the time to understand your business and personally qualify the people I put in front of you.
Because identifying a great salesperson takes more than reading a CV. It takes understanding the environment they’re expected to perform in.
