Denim Newman

Hardworking, reliable and enthusiastic individual with experience in fast-paced retail, hospitality and customer service environments. I have developed strong communication and teamwork skills through my previous roles at Tesco and McDonald's, where I learned the importance of providing excellent customer service, working efficiently under pressure and maintaining high standards. I am a friendly and approachable individual who enjoys helping customers and working as part of a team.

I am comfortable carrying out a wide range of tasks, from serving customers and operating tills to maintaining clean and organised working areas. I am also reliable and flexible, having regularly taken on additional hours when required. I am now looking to join Farmfoods, where I can use my existing retail and customer service experience while continuing to develop my skills within a busy and customer-focused store environment.
