Summary

I am a dependable and responsible individual seeking to expand my knowledge and experience in the retail world.

In my most recent role I excelled at managing accounts payable and receivable, leading to improved cash flow and reduced discrepancies.

I am adept at fostering positive relationships with customers and suppliers, resulting in smoother transactions and enhanced customer satisfaction.

On Saturdays I volunteer at Oxfam. In this capacity, I assist customers with their needs, I operate the till and manage the stock at the back which typically includes tidying up and sorting.
Otherwise in my free time I like to read and stay up to date with financial/business news, with particular interest in the retail sector.
