Summary

Hello, I'm Natalie! After spending 14 years at my previous company, which has now closed, and the last 3 months working as a temp in the fast moving consumer goods industry, I'm on the lookout for a new job that allows me to learn and grow. I'm a fast learner and a dedicated worker who always aims to give 100 percent to every task, as I’m committed to avoiding mistakes. You can count on me to be reliable and trustworthy; I strive to be a supportive team player and am just as comfortable working independently. Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of activities. I take pride in my mixology qualification and often work weekends at events like weddings and festivals. I’m also a qualified licensee with a WSET level 2 in spirits. My passion for live music keeps me attending concerts whenever I can, and I love to travel as much as possible!
