Summary
I have worked for the Co-Op for many years and have gained a wealth of experience in different areas. This has given me a good understanding of how the logistics chain works and has given me a good base to move into a stock and admin orientated role. I have shown that I can learn new roles quickly and perform them at a high level, some of these roles such as being a goods in operative, an FLT driver and also more recently learning how to support as an office clerk would help me transition into this new role with ease.
