Darren Ringwood

I have worked in retail throughout my working life. I feel that I will be an asset to any company as I have worked with the public with regards to customer sector and also in management, independently and within a team. I am computer literate using Microsoft Office, Data Input and Internal Servers.

I adapt into new roles and environments quickly and learn new skills with attention to detail. I am firm but compassionate when dealing with queries and complaints and strive to seek a positive outcome. I am an excellent time keeper with a clean sickness record.

I would embrace an opportunity to work in a new role giving total commitment. I'm a good team player and strive to achieve that best result in any task given. I endeavour to support others when and if I can to achieve the highest level of support.
