  RICHARD WILLIAMS DEGANWY LTD

  Sept 2008 - Jul 2021

  Sales

  In the 10 years I’ve been working at Richard Williams, I’ve taken on a number of different responsibilities from when I initially began as a member of the counter staff, so providing great customer service at all times. I have also maintained numerous relationships with sales representatives from a variety of companies which supply the firm, which has allowed me to broaden my knowledge of a range of products/materials which we sell. Over time my role has evolved to be less counter based and more on the technology side of the business, and this has given me an understanding of several aspects of IT, including DHCP and admin tasks in AWS. My primary role currently involves maintaining product pricing on our system (Merlin Business Software), this in turn has allowed to me to become proficient in working within Excel and in particular csv files to import updated information into the system. This has also given me an understanding of using SQL, based on the PostgreSQL RDBMS to accurately and efficiently make changes to whole product ranges. Another offshoot from our main software is the addition of Phocas software to allow us to analyze data streams from our core system, and identify sales trends to hopefully expand on successful product ranges, or create strategies to boost sales on slower moving stock.
