Summary

After 10+ years in retail, I've built up a strong track record of working in a busy environment, meeting deadlines and hitting targets, whilst offering excellent customer service. After 8 years with Home Bargains, I'm looking for a change that will allow me to use my customer service and organisational skills in a role that is more rewarding.
