Summary

My experience has been very much customer related and providing a quality service.

Since its inception, I have been a volunteer for The Hospice of St Francis shop in Bovingdon, Bovingdon Owned. I have found all aspects of the work extremely enjoyable as it is such a contrast to the jobs I have held before.
