I am writing as Alexandra's former manager at Laurents in Paddington to recommend her for any role she applies for. Alexandra worked with us for three years and was a fantastic asset to the team. Even when we had a long rush of people, she stayed fast on her feet and made sure the shop always looked clean and tidy. Our customers really liked her because she is friendly and has a great attitude. I was particularly impressed by her memory. She could remember many orders by heart, which made the service feel very personal. Alexandra is responsible, hardworking, and takes great pride in her work. What really makes her stand out from other applicants is her natural ability to stay calm and professional under pressure while always keeping a high standard. I believe her eye for detail would make her a great fit for a luxury retail environment, and I highly recommend her.
