Branch Manager

Aug 1983 - Jul 1996
My first job! I started in Birmingham City Centre as a branch assistant. Within three years I was promoted to Assistant Manager of the Worcester office. I became a Branch Manager by the age of 26. This period was when cashers started selling as well as serving customers. Cheltenham & Glouchester provided me with great groundings for managing change within a business. My first job!
