My primary duty as sales administrator is order entry onto the ‘GlassPro’ database. I take orders from customers and then prepare works orders for the production staff. This task requires a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.Along with placing orders, I also generate quotations for customers. As the glass industry is highly specialised and most orders are unique, I have had to learn several different pricing techniques and work on my own initiative when required.My role requires a high level of professionalism along with strong customer service skills. I deal with both large construction companies as well as the general public on a daily basis which has really helped to develop my business acumen.I use Microsoft office applications such as outlook and excel on a daily basis.I regularly generate finance reports and other summaries using the in-house software.

My main responsibility was the general care of thoroughbred racehorses- this included tasks such as feeding, watering, exercising etc.Teamwork was key, each day posed different challenges in the extremely busy environment and working with the team was vital.
