Summary

I’m a reliable and dedicated professional, committed to continuously progressing my career by embracing new challenges and furthering my studies. I’m eager to begin the ACCA or CIMA qualification upon completing Level 4 AAT.

During my time at Lookers Motor Group, I’ve gained a broad range of experience, currently supporting a remit of six dealerships across three manufacturers—primarily Ford Motor Co. Working within a small but fast-paced accounts department has enabled me to develop quickly, thrive under pressure, and consistently meet strict month-end deadlines.

I value strong working relationships and enjoy collaborating with teams across the business, which has helped me work effectively with colleagues at all levels of management.
