Branch Manager

Having been appointed to the role before our Solihull store opened, the Manager and myself oversaw the conversion and development of the site. I was then tasked with helping to stock the finished store, put displays together and prepare for opening. 

During and after opening, I was in charge of training new colleagues, and ensuring all Health and Safety documents were completed to a meticulous standard. On a day-to-day basis I would be dealing with paperwork, and ordering and handling deliveries. In addition, I would work on the shop-floor assisting customers, using my technical knowledge to help people find the right products and deal with any issues they may be experiencing. I was also responsible for maintaining the appearance of the store and ensuring we were always displaying the correct products at the correct prices. When necessary I often dealt with local marketing for the store, often liaising with other local businesses to set up partnerships in charity events, tech-based focus groups and catalogue placements, and constantly looking for the most effective and cost-efficient strategies. 

On several occasions I would visit customers at home to deliver and install new products. On one notable occasion, I visited a customer at his new home, which was still in the process of being built. I surveyed the premises and took measurements before recommending and installing a bespoke wireless multi-room system, which I then instructed the customer on to use. Over three years later, the same customer is still referring new business to me - a fact that I am extremely proud of.
