• • Jan 2012 - Feb 2013

  I was responsible for 34 profit centre's P&L budgets throughout Gauteng, Freestate and North West, achieving retail and purchasing budgets on both new goods and second hand goods. Had the best performing region for the larger part of 2012 before I got promoted to National Business Development Executive in 2013. I ended 2012 with no negative growing stores, transforming my region into a profitable and well sought after business.One success story worth mentioning: I had a outlet in the North West Province which the main centre grocery anchor burned down to the ground. The store was closed for nearly a month and after re-opening we committed to business - retraining the whole staff compliment, appointing a new manager and ensuring excellent procuring principles. Even without the anchor tenant, the store showed growth of between 15% - 30% YoY. Show less
