Stock Matters.co.uk) 05/09/2010 to Present
(Self-Employment – Client of Tech support Base)
Stock Matters is a stocktaking company from Stalybridge. They provide a very efficient auditing service to local and national businesses. Stock Matters needed a fully functional website to help customers learn more about their services and to manage existing customer accounts online. This was a very deep site to complete as the permission table alone was, based on two sections. This holds a two-year support and back-up plan, to insure the health of the company.
Lees Brewery, The Millpond, Stalybridge 10/12/2010 to 03/04/2011 - Temporary General Manager
This venue holds the same responsibility as the White Hart, but because it’s situated in a town centre, this holds more responsibility and quick thinking. The Millpond has a bigger capacity, should effectively be quicker to turn around, but unfortunately due to the time of year the PnL accounts are at a loss and need very affective controlling to keep afloat. So I hope to make a success of this public house, so that a perspective tenant finds it in a satisfactory state.

I delivered this service to customers in person over the counter, so the ability to solve problems as quickly and efficiently as possible was crucial, in order to provide the best care and expertise to the customer. I also had to restore the 3Com routers 3000 DSL and Ethernet range that customers returned back to default too use again with new customers and sometime went afield to install these in the Customer’s home to insure there was no faults on the line. I also to deal with customers on the phone to provide network support and solve on the spot problems like “why is my line slow” and “I have no internet connection”. However, unfortunately the company was not meeting its targets and had to close down, so I chose to return to contracting.
