Summary

Hardworking and adaptable with extensive experience providing first-class results.

I aim to meet job demands and deadlines through diligent work-ethic and dedication to quality.

I have worked for Wine Inns in various roles and venues over many years and have had the pleasure of working under a great many skilled and motivated managers in that time. I like to think that I have learned a great deal about the hospitality industry from these individuals and would like to put that experience to use and hopefully pass on some of the lessons learned over that time.

I believe I am organised and adept at prioritising daily tasks and following through to achieve performance and productivity goals.

I am capable of managing, guiding and training staff to develop advanced level product knowledge and high standerds of conduct
