Geordie Murray

I have a strong interest in fashion and take pride in presenting myself professionally. Through my work on a large rural estate, I was expected to maintain a smart and professional appearance while working with colleagues, contractors and members of the public. I have a particular interest in classic British and sporting fashion, and I am a keen follower of both rugby and cricket, sports which have a strong influence on traditional menswear and the Ralph Lauren brand.

I appreciate the importance of quality, craftsmanship and presentation, and I enjoy learning about different styles and clothing collections. I am hardworking, reliable and confident working as part of a team, and I am keen to provide excellent customer service while developing my career in retail.
