Lodge Services

• Preston, United Kingdom

• Security/Customer Service Officer

  • Aug 2011 - Jul 2013

  This was my employment for a few years while I wanted to grow Preston City Wrestling. The role was easy and did not require much use of my skills in management. This allowed me to be very focused in the evenings and grow my own business. The role was working in retail and corporate security and was fairly simple and repetitive. Lodge was a good company and I did enjoy my time with them. Working in Security was perfect at the time but not a profession that I was motivated to stay in.
