I joined Webhelp in June 2019 as a sales advisor. I was very successful in my role achieving a bonus every month and also being a consistent quintile one performer. In august 2020 I accepted the opportunity to become a Deputy Team Leader in charge of the Academy's joining the campaign where I was very successful in overachieving the amount of sales delivered to target. In January 2021 I accepted the opportunity to have my own tenured team. During this time I was enrolled into the Deputy Team Leader programme in partnership with BRAGD/Pitched Blue which upon completion I will receive a level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management. I'm currently on track to receive distinction. I'm currently still on a Pre to Post campaign with a team that consistently outperforms other teams with tenured managers.

I started with Tesco when I was 18 while living in the north London area. I was working part time as a stock control assistant. After 18 months I was given a full time contract. As a team leader working in the non food department I started to learn leadership skills and observe different leadership styles from other managers in the business. After 2 years I was given the opportunity to run different departments across different stores across the north London area. I then transferred home to the south Yorkshire area to work in the Express stores as a team leader for 3 years. I was given the opportunity to run lots of stores as a team leader and deputy manager across Sheffield where I learned to work in high pressure environments and where working in a small team is the norm and using my interpersonal skills to maintain morale . The deputy manager role was made redundant so I then returned to the larger stores in Sheffield where I have worked for 3 years in stock control.
