I'm very driven, target focussed and have the ability to achieve business targets using my own acumen and effectively managing my team to deliverIn my current role I also take on additional tasks supporting the regional manager, over and above my normal responsibilities. This includes deputising for him in his absence (holiday cover etc)

Wellington, Telford

Weekend cashier position. Worked as part of the service team whilst studying at college. 6 months after starting I was given Assistant Till Supervisor responsibilities and trusted with supervising the checkout and cashing up operation in the absence of the Till Supervisor. The more experience I gained with Wilko, the more I realised I thrived in a fast paced, customer facing environment. Eventually I chose not to continue my studies and left college to focus solely on my retail career. From this point I have had first hand experience in all areas of retail store operations until I made the move into a management position
