Phillip Saunders

I am a good communicator, both vocally and in a written manner, capable of liaising with people at various levels within an organisation and also the public sector. I am a confident, outgoing person, who is honest, reliable and willing to learn new procedures, when required. I can work well on my own using my initiative but also enjoy working as part of a team.

I am conscientious and an intuitive worker who is able to apply my skills to a wide variety of tasks with minimum instruction. I enjoy meeting new challenges and seeing through to completion, whilst remaining confident and good humoured.
