I am currently the Branch Manager which involves daily task as, Leading my team, servicing customers, data entry etc. This also involves future planning like store layout and set-up, meeting with customers to draw in more business etc.

My favourite part of my role is flexibility. As part of a small team we are all involved with doing different things in and around the branch. I also like the fact that the branch is only 4.2km from home which in Auckland is great.
