As a Shop Floor Porter first and foremost I was responsible for conducting morning deliveries of stock and ensuring that stockrooms and the shop floor were well –presented in preparation for store opening each day. Throughout the day I was required to migrate around the store, liaising with a vast network of Harrods staff and running errands on behalf of my department in order to assist the sales team in fulfilling their performance objectives. This mainly comprised, but was not limited to: the collection and distribution of stationary for the department; re – ticketing unlabelled or mispriced items on the shop floor; pricing, cubing and hanging stock onto rails to be put out on the shop floor, communicating with fashion buyers when there is too little or too much stock and dealing with this accordingly, communicating with the fashion warehouse when there is stock missing and reporting it to the managers. In addition, I would also carry a phone and run these errands for neighbouring departments when their porter was busy or I would be responsible for both departments when their porter was off duty.
