Ben Quittenden

I am a hardworking and loyal person who possess strong interpersonal skills. Since working at Marks and Spencer I have developed a mature and responsible approach to any task that I undertake, or situation that I am presented with. I am able to work well in a team environment but also have the ability to use my own initiative. I can demonstrate good IT skills. For my next I am now looking to move away from retail into an office environment to expend my skills set.
