Summary

I am seeking part-time employment and have over 17 years’ experience across administration, customer service, office support, inventory and operational environments. I have experience with purchase orders, goods receiving, invoice matching, stock and inventory administration, dispatch paperwork and supplier communication, including using SAP Business One.

I’m organized, reliable and comfortable working in busy environments where accuracy and getting things done on time are important. I communicate well with suppliers, customers and internal teams, keep records up to date, and work well independently or as part of a team. I’m also quick to learn new systems and processes and enjoy supporting the day-to-day running of a business.
