Management + Sales
(2021-07 - 2025-11)
First got into the industry as a seasonal role throughout summers off from uni; learning and working on all forms of old school + current outreaching. Worked way up to Yard Manager, managing the yard and materials being distributed and filed. Man-management of a small team making sure operations remain running smooth and effective. This further strengthened leadership.
Hospitality, Retail + Customer Service
(2017-09 - 2023-12)
Coming into the sector at only 15, eager to get experience under belt and work in busy, hands-on and fast-paced environments. Worked in multiple pubs, bars and companies that allowed to work on customer service skills, work environment qualities, and work/life balance. Ranging from local pubs, to well established London chains, and even abroad at Le Mans race track; 6 years of face to face with customers have allowed to lead confidently into any conversation with whomever coming across, as well as allowing to adapt and solve problems under pressure when needed.
