What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values innovation, and emphasizes teamwork.

I am a results-oriented Inventory Manager with over 10 years of experience in the manufacturing, distribution, hospitality, and public sector industries. My expertise lies in optimizing inventory processes, enhancing operational efficiency, and driving cost reductions. I have successfully managed comprehensive inventory systems, developed strategic supplier relationships, and implemented innovative solutions to streamline operations.

In my current role at Surrey Hotel Management, I manage the inventory for multiple hotels, ensuring seamless stock availability while overseeing all aspects of internal customer service. My strategic planning and coordination of shipments have led to punctual delivery of goods and heightened customer satisfaction. I have also introduced a comprehensive sales and inventory forecasting system that enables precise demand predictions, optimizing inventory levels and enhancing accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have focused on professional development and cross-training within my teams, leading to a high-performing workforce. My commitment to continuous improvement has resulted in significant reductions in inventory turnover time and variances, ultimately contributing to increased profitability and operational excellence.
