SkillsCV
Having graduated with a 2:1 in Design and Technology, I have spent 6 years developing a career in PROJECT MANAGEMENT and PRODUCT DESIGN, although my recent role as BUSINESS MANAGER has given me an understanding of marketing and HR. I have always worked doggedly to learn new skills and broaden my horizons, displaying a flair for project management and organisation. As a Design and Development Manager I proved myself as a lateral thinker, problem solver and innovator. My hands-on approach to management is built on 3 years’ practical engineering and development experience in the automotive industry. I am resourceful, self-sufficient, ambitious and responsible.
