Summary

I have worked in various departments within the hospitality industry for the past 20 years, and I'm now looking for a change and to transfer the skills I have gained to another industry. I am extremely customer-focused and work well as part of a team. For the past 10 years, I have been a strong management figure and team leader, so I would like to continue this in my next opportunity.
