Generating new customers within the Greater London area for Riverford was a pleasure.

I personally brought over 250 new customers to Riverford demonstrating my ability to lead conversation, close sales and use sales techniques. Self motivation and personal development was key to success at the role. As well as generating new customers the role needed creative skills for setting up the face of the stalls at both food shows and high street locations. There were many consecutive long hard days of work which needed great stamina and time keeping skills. I also developed my managerial skills through shared leadership of our small team.
