I'm offering
I am a confident and articulate professional who enjoys a challenge, I am a self starter and always see a task through to the end. I am able to think on my feet and have strong problem solving skills. My ability to see the bigger picture often gives me the advantage of seeing potential risks and resolution quickly and I will always go the extra mile to get things done,
I am highly organised and pride myself on my attention to detail. I have now problem in multitasking and can easily switch tasks as the business dictates.
My experience is extensive and I have supported a wide variety of projects Including Government building closures and moves, Whole company laptop/mobile phone deployment and sensitive MOD projects. This has given me the opportunity to develop excellent communication skills and I have no difficulty in communicating at all levels across all mediums.
