About

I am a hardworking, decisive and resourceful individual with the ability to get the best out of my team and anyone I work with. I believe in leading from the front and that anyone in a higher position should be seen to get stuck in and understand the job at its core. I was employed as a Warehouse Pick Team Leader for the fast-growing gift/fashion retailer Oliver Bonas. I was responsible for a team of up to 40 during peak business (August-December) preparing store replenishments where we had an average 99.8% picking accuracy. I was a capable supervisor that thrives in a busy environment. At this moment I work in retail industry as a stock coordinator looking after all back-of-house operations. I am also a certified Fire Marshal and First Aider; I am open to any training that might be provided.
