Additional Work

Between June 2023 and August 2023 I was entrusted to cover a friend's paper round while they were unavailable for The List Frome. This involved receipt of the delivery. Planning my time and my own work schedule, including map reading and planning the most efficient route. As there were 500 and they were heavy, planning was important. I had to work to a deadline, on occasions this was tight as the delivery was made late to me.
