Summary

I have been in Supermarkets my entire life, my family have owned and operate them for close to 30 years. I have spent the last 15 years learning and growing within our business's. Throughout this process i have become knowledgeable and fluent in all departments within a supermarket.

Since my fathers retirement i have had the honour of running our Supermarket as an owner operator. This has given me a wealth of knowledge regarding the overall financial operations of our business.

While i thoroughly enjoy my current role it is time for me to move onto my next challenge.
