Summary
I am an accomplished professional with seventeen years of work experience behind me ranging from Customer advisor to a Vehicle Base Logistics and Compliance Manager.
I pride myself in my exemplary attendance with very few absences from work over this period and with an honest and open minded approach to my tasks and duties as part of successful teams over the years.
In my entry level roles over my employment career, I have always placed emphasis on integrity and respect to those I work alongside and those I come into contact through my work day, regardless of the work environment, this creates as much happier and safer work place and making succeeding much more achievable. The key skills that were enforced in these roles would be dynamic risk assessing, accurate reporting of data, event and information and team work, without these I would not have succeeded to my current Management role.
In my current role as a Vehicle Base Logistics and Compliance Manager, my role is extremely vast an complex. My areas of expertise range from Logistical excellence, Data and information compliance, Health and Safety and Employee Relation Matters. The key theme around these expertise is providing accurate and timely reports to relevant supporting functions and being a proactive learner to aid being successful.
I believe I have the relevant skills and attitudes to be successful in the role Assistant Kit Manager and I would be delighted to be considered for the role and have the opportunity to display my effective skills and evidence my professional approach.
