1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Lots of different things, from managing staff, running a shop floor and a section. Making sure the shop floor standards are as good as they can be, all procedures are followed and all staff are busy at all times.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes definitely I’ve learnt so much. I’ve learnt how to manage at team, how to speak to people and how to run a shop. I’ve learnt off so many different people so many skills that I can use in my life not just work.
