Custom
I have worked for the same company for 24 years. In my time with the company I have held positions in cooked meats, driving around Cornwall delivering, loading the vans with goods for customers, been cleaning and in the cutting room when needed doing light butchery tasks. My current position in sausage room manager. This includes ordering, stock control, and recording all the data about the trace of products. The skills I have gained through my working life are adaptable to lots of other working environments. I learn fast with any task that I get given the opportunities to have.
