About me

Dear Reader,

I have achieved a degree in BA (Hons) Theatre Design and Extended Diploma in Production Arts. I am an enthusiastic, confident self-starter who is keen to demonstrate my motivation and committed to deliver for your company.

I have recently worked with The National Trust at the Workhouse in Nottingham as a Live Performance Designer for a heritage project as well as working as an Assistant Stage Manager for the Watermill Theatre. Throughout my time at University, I have collaborated with multiple industry experts to produce several realised performances, by leading a team of people through design, build (Auto CAD & Technical drawing) and conducting the final performance. This has included managing budget, setting tasks and communicating goals, as well as achieving deadlines while under pressure.

Currently, a Duty Manager (Assistant Manager) at Topshop/ Topman in Newbury. I ensure that the store is set out to a high standard with forward looking fashion themes that appeal to our customers. I liaise with the Store Manager to achieve best practise and assist to ensure the smooth running of the store. I have experience in banking, standards, delivery with excellent customer service. I also deputise for the Store Manager in her absence. As a key holder I have responsibility of the Health & Safety of staff. Also, as a part of my role I am in control of how the shop is designed and used for visual merchandising.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this application and I look forward to your positive response.

Yours sincerely,

April Rowland.
