Took early retirement always been my plan to retire at 55 even when I was at school so was really pleased to be able to do it after 38 years in the retail sector where I was a proactive and dynamic professional leader with a real passion for people development, focusing on their behaviours and motivating individuals to be brilliant at what they do.A coaching culture is the core of how i worked which enables the teams and individuals to explore opportunities and do the right thing by putting the customer at the heart of everything they do whilst ensuring that they make a positive contribution to the business. Hard working and honest and wants to progress and devlop.
