Summary: I started off in retail receiving as an undercover receiving manager to expose illegal activities between store staff and suppliers. Due to my work experience at different retailers I have a vast field of experience in the field of FMCG receiving. The honesty and integrity of a company's receiving managers can be the difference between the company making profit or closing doors. I believe in taking care of the company's property and equipment. I have experience in warehousing in the frozen foods industry. This includes the stock dispatched to the convenience stores at fuel stations and certain fast food restaurant groups. I also have experience in buying/ procurement, gained from working at Centrifugal Air-conditioning, Ambassador Air Services, Nishan Sunshine and Isikhwama Manufacturing.
