Summary

Resourceful professional with motivational approach, eager to transition into managerial role. Demonstrates strong leadership and problem-solving skills, coupled with keen ability to drive team performance and foster collaboration. Poised to deliver impactful results, enhancing operational efficiency and team productivity.


I was made redundant from my role at Job&Talent in January 2024. My plan was to take a year out and then start looking for my next job. I took a job at the Follingsby site at Amazon from 0ctober 2024 to December 2024, this was only a temporary contract but was extended to February due to my excellent performance and attendance. I was always curious how the main Amazon hubs operated after working at the smaller sites over the years and was able to tick this off.
