Oliver Kay
Dunsborough,WA
Summary
Let me introduce myself. My name is Oliver. I am a hard working, competent person with a wealth of experience in the hospitality and wine industry. From growing up working on farms from a young age, as well as being exposed to large and small format work environments, I have adapted an ethic and management style that is well suited to a professional space. I enjoy hard work, a good laugh and a place to go to work where I feel excited and motivated. I am currently looking to broaden my experience and knowledge in the wine industry, both in sales and the wine making side of things. New challenges are always exciting and enjoyed.
