Summary

With a background as a Commercial Vehicle Technician, I have developed strong skills in customer communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. My experience includes routine maintenance, preparing vehicles for MOT inspections, training apprentices, and ensuring client satisfaction with companies like Ocado.


I am eager to transition into a new industry, specifically in sales and customer service, where I can leverage my hands-on experience and customer-focused approach. Outside of work, I am passionate about building relationships and enjoy engaging with diverse groups of people. My proactive attitude and strong interpersonal skills allow me to connect easily with others, while my commitment to excellence drives me to go above and beyond in every interaction. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm for helping others into a new career where I can make a positive impact.
