Personal Statement:

I am able to work in a team and have very good leadership skills; I also have the communication skills to excel within that team. I always uphold a high standard of work ethic and my punctuality and time keeping is excellent. My current and previous employments have always demanded a high factor of creativity and innovation to which I have always gone above and beyond.

The training and experience I’ve had has provided me with a vital set of problem solving and organisation skills to a point where they are applicable in any situation within the workplace.

My current and previous roles have given me the opportunity to not only have organised other colleagues but to train them up to a professional standard.
