      Feb 2007 - Nov 2010

      I have worked at DSGi PCWorld for 4 Years. The Roles I have played within my job have been areas like Technical, Customer Queries and Sales, Warehouse and operations, for example Ticketing for new prices, Stock management, POS and display management with correct Displays and prices according to planning groups, so that every Pcworld has the same Visible Deals for customers to see whether they are in Bournemouth or Poole. I also took charge on multiple occasions of the SIS (Stock integrity specialist) role which involves correcting and moving stock to ensure the system shows that of the physical stock. Accounting for theft, wrongly sold goods and reporting this information back via a weekly update. কম দেখুন

      Head Photographer

      Portfolio - www.JamesBridlePhoto.co.ukMy names James Bridle. I'm a photographer living in the heart of Bournemouth, Dorset. My work captures a range of genres from music festivals, sport, corporate, events, product and studio; I don’t think there is anything I’ve not been involved with at some point in my career. I started as a keen photographer from the age of 18, some 12 years ago I have always had a keen interest in the music industry which has helped me develop a broad range of useful skills both technically and personally. Capturing the excitement of the crowd and the broad range of emotions you see around you is a truly amazing experience. I feel very lucky to be involved with some of the biggest music festivals in the UK from the historic Isle of Wight festival to the colourful and energy driven Creamfields. I cover a wide range of genres within the photographic spectrum and have been involved with many commercial projects with top brands, corporate events with high profile figures and some of the largest music festivals the UK has to offer with performances from world renowned artists. During my years as a photographer I've travelled extensively and had the pleasure of working with both Cunard and Carnival to circumnavigate the world twice in opposite directions. This was an incredible experience that allowed me to vastly diversify my portfolio and learn some amazing things. My interest and passion also comes from a deep sense of fulfilment, creating something special that I know my clients will love gives me such a euphoric buzz that keeps me producing fresh and creative ideas. Whilst having a passion behind the camera I also enjoy my time in front of the Mac editing via Photoshop or Lightroom. Retouching images to polish those final images to perfection is a personal touch which I love to add. কম দেখুন
