Throughout the time the company was trading, client focus was incredibly important to me, and I was always working to ensure the needs of the customer were fully understood and delivered with impressive level of personal service. This regularly resulted in repeat business, or new business via recommendation. Being resilient and adaptable was very important throughout my time running this business. Markets, demand and tough trading conditions meant the direction of the business needed to change on numerous occasions over my 12 year directorship, not to mention difficulties in the supply chain of products that were selling particularly well. As director of the business, my main duties included (but were not limited to); Sourcing and negotiating the purchase of stock at profitable prices, recruiting and training staff, ensuring myself and sales staff had comprehensive product knowledge to allow a confident sales rapport with customers, all administrative duties including control of all payments in and out of the business, all banking activities, use of Sage for managing bookkeeping and accounts, receiving and responding to customer enquiries/complaints, marketing; daily price checking and maintaining control of all online advertising and social media accounts such as Autotrader, eBay and facebook.
