A successful retail manger with many strengths in the retail and sales industry. Since leaving college I have worked in the family businesses of a small chain of Post Office, Off Licence and General Stores and successfully managing and owning one of my own. I am a strong manager and I have an unrivalled work ethic, determination and ambition. Willing to learn and very receptive to new information and skills. I have reached a stage in my career where I am embracing a new challenge. I want to make an imprint in the sales industry. I've really enjoyed my first 18 months in field sales and target hits and above are starting to come regularly. I'm excited about developing my sales techniques and feel I can really progress my career over the next few years. Now 36 months into my sales career. 3 years of decent growth and I’ve recently switched areas to take over Liverpool. Big City equals Big Opportunities. 5 years in and I’ve switched to the newly formed Cargo division at Wurth UK. Now covering from Fleetwood to Speke and everything in between. Trucks,Tractors,Waste,Recycling & Blue Lights. Plant Hire,Cranes,Airports & Docks. A great company to work for and after 5 years I’m still enjoying every day.
Area Development Manager for Wurth UK. Automotive Division Key Account Management. Prospecting. Account Development. Company Car Expenses. P/L Management. Stock Returns. Demos.
I managed the shop fully with 3-4 full time staff. The hours of opening where from 7am-midnight seven days a week. Daily duties would include but not limited to:- Opening/closing of the store Post Office legislation Cash Management Stock Management and budgeting Staff rotas, staff development, HR and payroll Health & Safety Liaising with sales representatives Accounting and Vat returns Epos tills I feel that I developed lots of skills and gained so much experience during my time at the head of the family business. It was therefore a very sad occasion when we had to close the store this year. Competition had become increasingly hard to see off and a supermarket being allowed to open next door meant that the business was no longer viable.
