A motivated and reliable individual with previous retail experience gained through three different roles at Cheshire Oaks. Confident in providing excellent customer service, assisting customers with their needs, operating tills, replenishing stock, and maintaining high shop floor standards. I work well as part of a team, communicate effectively with both customers and colleagues, and enjoy working in a busy, fast-paced environment.
