I am drawn to the opportunity to lead a regional portfolio of food shops, where strong shop standards, sales performance and people development all contribute to shared results. With 18 years in food retail and current accountability for 11 shops , this work closely matches my experience and the kind of leadership I want to continue providing. In my current role at Cedar Lane Food Shops, I set shop operation plans with managers and review sales, profit and customer service results to agree timely actions. I translate regional priorities into local trading plans, use performance reports to identify opportunities, and check that marketing materials and displays are implemented consistently. My earlier multi-site role at Moorland Pantry further developed my approach to reviewing sales and cost reports: I worked with managers to identify underperforming lines , investigate variances and agree practical shop-level responses. Developing capable management teams is a core part of my work. I recruit and coach shop managers, plan for succession and align recruitment with operational needs and approved staffing budgets. I have mentored two shop supervisors who progressed into management roles through regular coaching and development conversations. I lead through frequent shop visits, supporting managers to maintain food safety , health and safety and brand standards, while building an inclusive team culture that values different perspectives. I am confident using sales, labour and cost reports to identify issues and take practical action. I review variances against budgets and adjust rotas with shop managers to reflect trading patterns, service needs and labour limits . I also use SharePoint, Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams to analyse reports, share plans and communicate decisions clearly. These capabilities align directly with Harbour & Hearth Foods’ focus on sound shop operations, cost control and consistent standards across its portfolio. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my multi-site food retail experience and people-focused field leadership can support Harbour & Hearth Foods’ shops and teams.
