I have very good interpersonal skills, a good nature and character and I am a good problem solver , also believe I have the necessary skills to be an excellent communicator and I know how to treat customers' for excellent customer service. I am passionate about developing myself and building on my skills through further training and development opportunities afforded to me. I have a very good understanding of using Microsoft office suites products (Outlook, Excel, Word and Power-point) in addition to other tools such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom used for video conferencing and on-line meetings. I am committed to learning and developing new skills utilising these tools.

I am passionate about playing and watching the game of rugby which allows me to be self motivated and very much a team player. I am a well organised individual with a 'can do' positive attitude. My employment with Bakkavor Salads allows me to demonstrate these behaviours, be a good problem solver and at times whilst working alone using my own initiative resulting in positive customer feedback
