Summary

My career has predominantly been within an office / service environment.

I am highly motivated and offer a huge skillset, proficient in various software packages including Microsoft 365 and Sage One Accounting.

I am organized with excellent planning abilities to meet operational deadlines. Logical with good initiative to remain calm and productive under pressure.

I am a team player and good team leader and believe leading by example always gets the best results and creates good team morale and respect.

My greatest achievement was taking over a failing business with my family and turning it into a successful fast food and catering business.

The key factors to this success, I believe, were hard work, maintaining high standards, good ethics and giving great customer service.

As the business grew then building a team who identified with and helped deliver those same ethics.

Skills that are transferrable to all I do in life.
