  Manager

  My current role consists of ensuring store targets are met by maximising sales opportunities. I oversee any store issues, managing performance and development with regular training, as well as working closely with colleagues to create commercially outstanding visual displays. Working for a close knit franchise store has given me the opportunity to network with head office, designers, and the store owner. This has allowed me to gain industry knowledge from all aspects of the business from buying to social media, and in turn has improved my overall leadership skills. Other duties include driving and maximising the sales profitability of the store to achieve core growth, analysing sales figures, forecasting future sales volumes to maximise profits, and monitoring stock control and expenditure every quarter.
