Leon Potter

Dedicated and professional individual with extensive experience in customer-facing roles, team leadership, and service industries. Having spent many years in the hairdressing and barbering industry, I am now seeking a fresh career challenge where I can apply my strong work ethic, communication skills, adaptability, and commitment to excellent customer service. I am a fast learner with a conscientious approach to work and a genuine passion for helping others.

I work effectively both independently and as part of a team, maintaining a professional and friendly attitude at all times. My experience across multiple industries has helped me develop strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build positive working relationships with colleagues and customers alike. Following my decision to leave the hairdressing industry in 2019, family responsibilities and the COVID-19 pandemic delayed my transition into a new career path.

I have since provided full-time care support for my father during his recovery and am now eager to return to full-time employment and embrace a new opportunity.
