Assisting in day to day running of the store and helping develop staff to be the best they can be in a busy working environment. One of the busiest stores in the company constantly in the top 5, very fast paced and challenging at times, but that’s how I like it.Very different retail I have worked in before, which has been a nice change to get my enthusiasm back for this sector.

Manager of a fast paced retail store, enjoying a continued improvement of the store. In a company that is constantly trying to improve I am enjoying the direction it is going and embracing all elements of the progression.Left due to company ceased trading.
