Skills
Having spent 44 years in the retail sector and 40 years in a management role I feel well suited to the position available at Nantwich As an active (young) 78 year old total retirement doesn't suit me, I miss the responsibility of overseeing the efficient operation of a retail outlet and 20 hours a week would keep both the wife and myself happy
