  • Sofas And Stuff
    Head Of Operations And Office Manager
    Sofas And Stuff Oct 2009 - Present
    Fittleworth, West Sussex
    Founder member of a Furniture Company called Sofas & Stuff, which launched in October 2009. On joining as a Sales Consultant it was clear to me that the business needed a solid administrative setup. As well as sales I took on the challenge of building the administrative side of the business and as this was a completely new industry for me it was a big challenge. There were no systems in place to manage orders or to monitor the backend of the business; everything was very manual. So I set off to design a system alongside the Directors of the company. This system evolved over time to manage 12 showrooms across the country and around 100-200 orders per day. With my passion pointing heavily towards operations and administration, I moved away from sales to purely focus on the operational side of the business, expansion was key and a fully functioning back office was required. I put a recruitment and operational plan in action, which was a great success. I ended up with a great team of people running a smooth operation. This enabled me to focus on managing and keeping the cogs of the business turning.
