Summary
Confident and adaptable individual with experience across retail, hospitality, and business environments. I take pride in delivering excellent customer service, staying organised, and keeping calm under pressure. Running my own business involved regular driving to client addresses, managing routes and logistics, and providing a high level of service from start to finish. At Asda, I gained hands-on experience with inventory, markdowns, and working within structured systems, strengthening my attention to detail and efficiency. I’ve also worked in fast-paced roles like waitering and reception, developing strong communication, multitasking, and problem-solving skills. Whether I’m on the road or face-to-face with customers, no matter the opportunity, I’m always looking to learn, improve, and take on new challenges as the clock carries on ticking.
