  I am currently employed as a Production Technician at Porton Biopharma Limited.

  My role was to visit sites such as housing estates, industrial areas and government land, with my team and carry out scheduled work, as well as taking the initiative to complete other jobs that I feel ought to be completed. Due to my previous experience within horticulture and forestry, I could often identify potential problems that can be mitigated or solved with immediate action. I had a variety of extra responsibilities within my team. As an experienced team member, I was responsible for training other team members in the best working practices and teaching them about various trees, plants, and land management techniques.

University of Southampton

• United Kingdom

• 700 & Above Employee

• Landscape and Gardening Operative

  • Jan 2020 - Sep 2020

  I worked in a small team responsible for maintaining and enhancing the University campus. In this role I had regular tasks to complete such as lawn care, tree management and the maintenance of vehicles and tools. Alongside this, I was also involved in ongoing larger projects, such as the redesign and development of specific areas on campus. For such projects I ensured that areas were more ecologically diverse, attractive to the viewer, and in parts returned a former Capability Brown designed area to its former glory. The most important part of my role though, was to ensure healthy and safety was always maintained, and dangers were managed through a robust risk assessment. As the university is operational and on public land, the areas we operated were always very busy with stake holders such as staff, students and members of the public. Show less

Quercus

• Southampton, England, United Kingdom

• Business Owner

  • Apr 2014 - Dec 2019

  Previously, I ran a gardening business in Southampton and the surrounding areas. Running a business has developed my customer service skills. Customers are what makes and breaks a business, so it was important for me to have a strong customer base, to build a rapport with my customers and to gain repeat custom. I also developed my planning and management skills within this position. I had to constantly balance completing jobs for customers with record-keeping and advertising the business. I learnt to do this in the most efficient way, by creating my own computerised system, to ensure that I generated a higher profit and had more time available for potential new customers. The business also developed my research skills, as I had to follow industry trends to enforce a pricing structure that is fair to myself and my customers, as well as being competitive within the industry. However, I often negotiated prices with customers and traders in order to ensure that I generated repeat custom. In doing this, I honed my negotiating skills. Show less
