Returning to my role as a full time sales manager In the festival park comet store. As before I am consistently delivering high levels of profitable turnover. In an ever struggling market. I excel in customer service, attaining quality customer service feedback scores and personnel awards year after year, I myself deliver in excess of a million pounds each year for the last 4 years. I induct and train new starters in sales techniques and attachment. I worked up until the very final days of Comet when it was closed for good in December 2012

Hired in December 2006 at Festival Park I performed duty manager role in the absence of General Manager. I brought new ideas and behaviour's to a flagging low performance store, changing the merchandising definitions of what looked good to individuals. I had a profound impact on performance in store. I progressed to General Manager of Stafford store, which was in the most awful state of neglect, doing as I did in Hanley. Greatly improving standards and performance. And installing processes to ensure it didn't happen again. During my role at Stafford I also covered as sale manage of j9 Wednesbury megastore. I left DSGI before the cull of managers that happened in 2008

Working in Stoke On Trent. I was part of a management team in a £14 million store that increased its turnover by over £500k each year for the previous 5 years, consistently maintaining our key performance indicators to a very high standard, much higher than area and company average. This was due to a downright determination to be No1. I was a fully NVQ qualified train the trainer and competent presenter. I have recently had recaps during 2012 in leadership and management, counselling and disciplinary skills, performance management, induction, training of new starters, and interview and hiring skills. Had the responsibility of running large sales floor, performing general sales floor management such as; developing staff to maximize their individual performance through training and coaching and giving them feedback on a one to one basis. I maintained high levels of merchandising principles and sales floor standards by doing general floor walks and allocating tasks/challenges to members of staff responsible for those departments, general rostering of staff according to budget, and organizing of special occasions such as team builds and charity events.

Cheshire, Staffordshire And West Midlands.

Worked in numerous stores all over the region. Was part of the management team that successfully opened the groups'​ largest store on J9 of the M6, which back then had an estimated turnover of £14 million now closer to £30 milliion. I stayed a part of that team for over a year, maintaining correct stock levels by liaising with buying departments and manufacturers. During my spell as a sales manager I was responsible for the unenviable task of closing down several old Dixon's and Curry's stores to make way for the bigger superstore. I had to recommend staff for other positions within the area, and wind the business down to a halt. I started in management, as a Business Centre Manager in Crewe, running the new computer departments in the stores, as computing was relatively new back then, it was my role to ensure that we gained a share of the market in that town/retail park by being conversant at a generic level, and professional in the manner which I communicated this new technology to the customer. Dixon Stores Group has a recognized qualification, equal and comparable to that of an NVQ or of a diploma, it is the Retail Management Development Plan. RMDP and I have passed with high grading all levels 1, 2 and 3. As a salesperson I would perform general retail duties, achieving my set targets and objectives within the business. Merchandising my departments to a high standard of presentation, dealing with customer challenges and providing an excellent level of service to the public.
