As you will mostly be working independently, you must be reliable and self-motivated. Computer skills, particularly Microsoft Excel, are an essential requirement for the role as you will be required to identify trends from computer generated statistics as well as creating your own databases. Due to the nature of the role, it would be advantageous for you to have a detailed knowledge of butchery and the restaurant industry as well as an understanding of the competition in detail, working with the depot to ensure we overcome any objections.
