Profile
I am a confident, ambitious, forward thinking, IT literate professional who is used to achieving and exceeding all
targets and goals, within all areas of my life.
From an apprentice motor mechanic with Opel in Germany to a Branch Manager for Halfords Autocentres, in the
West Midlands, I have always worked within the automotive sector giving me a rounded and extensive knowledge
of all aspects of this industry, from the bottom up.
I consider myself to have gained throughout these years excellent communication and remuneration skills, the
skills to communicate with people at all levels, whether it be to motivate, problem solve or to pass on important
pertinent information. I have excellent organisational and time management skills which I have used to improve
efficiency, and I consider myself to have the ability to relate well with others to establish good working
relationships throughout all levels of business.
I have practical experience in various dealership computer software systems including 1 link system, KARLO, CSS,
TYRE SOFT2 and general software for example Microsoft Word, Excel and outlook.
I consider myself to be a hard working loyal individual who would be able to bring valuable knowledge, experience
and a “can do” attitude to any new organisation willing to give me the opportunity.
