Lorraine Susan Thompson

Something about me:

Born in South Canterbury in 1968, currently 55 years old with two adult sons

I attended Mountainview High school, after which my career was predominantly in the hospitality industry.

In my spare time I love to upcycle furniture, im a keen gardener, have a creative brain. Im a big music enthusiast and regularly attend local outdoor events, I play pool in a local Ashburton team.

I keep good health and keep myself physically fit, which in turn makes me a reliable employee.

I have been in positions of trust, handling cash, locking up, opening up etc.

I pride myself in being able to turn my hand to almost anything and it has been my experience to fix plumbing, paint accommodation, repair furniture / appliances etc as well as gardening, driving etc.

I believe that occasionally in whatever position you hold you may be faced with the unexpected, this is where I thrive, thinking on my feet and solving problems with minimum of fuss.

My most recent position has been at Salmon Tales, this was a family run business and my time there was fabulous, i enjoyed learning new skills and being part of a progressive team with a high morale.

Salmon Tales ceased trading in December 2024 at which time i was made redundant. I pick up new concepts easily and am keen on up skilling to meet the needs for potential employment.

I hold a Full Clean Driving License and a Forklift license. Im a hard worker
