ABOUT STUART FRASER
Biographical Note:Bringing the commercial acumen of my former employment into the fun-filled environment of an Outdoor Pursuit Centre has been liberating. What is more interesting for me though, is seeing how people from Corporate groups, Educational groups, Youth groups or families connect with the activities we offer & grow in confidence, teamwork, enthusiasm and in rising to a challenge. There’s so much evidence out there on how Outdoor Education helps to build Character & Resilience and being part of that makes the role rewarding.During my time at Sainsbury\'s I achieved consistent performance, growing store sales and achieving against company targets on Stock Control, Labour Controls, Customer Service & store availability for 20 consecutive Quarters, but realised it was time to move on. I recruited and trained some 100+ new employees from Customer Service Assistant to Store Manager LevelAbout me:Hon\'s Degree in Business Management & Retail from the University of Brighton, with notable distinctions in \'managerial forecasting\' and \'business law\' modules, I took a sabbatical to travel the world visiting approx 17 countries, broadening my experiences of cultural & service differences worldwide. In addition to having completed the UK 3 Peaks Challenge in 24 hours, in 2012 I reached the summit of Kilimanjaro and in 2016 I completed the 210 mile arduous cycle, Coast to Coast from Whitehaven to Whitby.Describing myself as an energetic, dynamic & analytical individual, my experiences have given me an appreciation of the Service element of retailing, that have been integral to the successes I have had in the various Store Manager position\'s I have held in the past 15+ years. This has included the accolade of Retail Manager of the Year for 1 company & an Outstanding Achievement Award for another.
