  Costcutter Retail Store Manager

  Running a busy costcutter store and large vending area on a large Army Foundation College at Harrogate. Responsible for 20 staff across both areas ensuring all staff members are up to date with relevant training and providing the best possible customer service. A challenging environment due to the nature of the Army base being a foundation college serving 1400 junior soldiers all under the age of 18. In 7 months I have lead the team to deliver the best possible customer service and embedded routines and standards across the shop which in turn has increased turnover and improved all financial KPI’s with particular focus on gross turnover, waste, shrink and gross profit.
