We are looking for individuals who can bring a diverse set of strengths to the team.

Here are some key skills and attributes we are seeking in potential candidates:

• Strong customer service skills: Ability to handle enquiries, resolve issues, and provide exceptional service to customers
• Proficiency in order management: Experience in processing orders accurately and efficiently, ensuring timely delivery and customer satisfaction
• Problem-solving skills: Capacity to troubleshoot issues, address customer concerns, and find solutions to meet customer needs
• Communication skills: Effective verbal and written communication to interact with customers, colleagues, and suppliers
• Team player: Willingness to collaborate with team members, support colleagues, and contribute to a positive work environment
• Numeracy: Having a strong grasp of numbers would be helpful for accurately calculating costs for clients (although full training is provided).
