I am a dedicated operations manager with over six years of experience in inventory management and customer relations. My role as Yard Manager at Form Scaff Kenya has honed my skills in overseeing stock management, enhancing yard efficiency, and fostering effective communication between teams. I take pride in my ability to implement streamlined processes that lead to significant cost reductions and improved productivity.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence in various managerial and clerical roles. My experience spans from managing a dairy farm to working in banking, where I excelled in customer service and administrative support. I believe in the power of teamwork and effective communication to achieve organizational goals, and I am always looking for ways to improve processes and enhance customer satisfaction.
