Summary

I am a proactive and detail-oriented individual with excellent time management and communication skills. Friendly, motivated and a hardworking team player. Comfortable in fast-paced environments and eager to take on challenging work. This is shown regularly through being trusted to run/ manage the company whilst the MD is on holiday. I consistently push myself to learn new technical skills. For example, I have recently started learning to build guitar amplifiers and code.
