• Senior Branch Manager, Area Trainer & Cluster Leader

  • 1992 - 2003

  From starting as an 8 hour sales assistant I worked my way up to be a senior branch manager, area trainer, cluster leader and acting area manager covering 40+ stores for my boss in his absence. I loved doing wine tastings for groups of people who wanted to learn about wine in a fun way e.g. the RAF to carrying out serious tastings for wine societies. I was responsible for all new Manager training on my area and implemented a series of store trials and re-branding that was used within the brand. It was a great job and the skills I learned in my 11 years gave me a fantastic base to build on and help others do the same. I learned about some fantastic wines and with my knowledge have shared this with friends and family over the years
