I am known for consistently achieving KPI's through great team collaboration and for knowing my team and showing great empathy to achieve personal and professional goals.I am recognised for my excellent store standards and innovation to achieve and love nothing more than recognising others for their achievements.Im passionate and protective about service and delivering a fantastic customer experience.All this is achieved through great resilience and knowing my own sources of energy, keeping myself and my team fit for life.Trained as an LGV class 1 lorry driver and qualified as an electrician because I love to learn new skills.Studied an MSc in counselling at Keele University to certificate level so I can help my people better in the work place, running alongside this I did some voluntary work for Mind.In my 'spare' time I like to spend time with my wife and family, sample good food in great surroundings and travel, I love a city break with a gig thrown in.
