Summary

Available to work in UK without sponsorship.

During the years at Vimwood, I have been able learn all about the buying side of retail and get first-hand experience with the industry. Some of my tasks were creating orders using SAP, tracking orders, built strong relationships with suppliers with great communication and manage all samples at their different stages. I also learnt how to allocate stock to stores, worked on merchandising documents, complete merchandising within stores and worked along the quality assurance department to understand the standards required to sell products within Australia and action them with our suppliers. I am a fast learner as I am always trying to improve my skills within the workplace and share my knowledge with others so we can all improve as a team.
