MeI’m Ian, I’m happily married with 4 children, my outside work interests are of course my family, I’m interested in Performance cars and enjoy trips to the zoo and the lakes, walking and relaxing. Career wise I’m highly experienced in Food retail, starting off as an Part-Time colleague working on Produce in Safeway and 19 years later having gained much experience Working in three of the biggest Supermarkets and gaining valuable experience running my own business selling mobile phones and accessories through my own website and selling sports and performance vehicles from home. I’m very hard working, loyal and always willing to learn new skills. I enjoy working as part of a team but I’m equally happy working on my own initiative. I have great people skills and I’m a confident person and enjoy working with people and providing excellent customer care. I love challenges and I’m always looking to learn new things as part of my self-development. Currently I run a grocery department with Sainsbury’s in a busy online store taking over £14m per year, managing a busy operation motivating a number of colleagues to produce excellent figures. Also running a busy store taking over £850k per week with one of the biggest online operations in our region focusing on our customers and ensuring a great customer experience for all.
