11. Coordinating store improvements, and removing any obstacles that might be getting in the way of great service
12. Following health and safety routines and procedures, and ensuring colleagues do the same
13. Recognising and celebrating colleagues within the team who are providing great service

You will need:

1. To be a great role model, by always giving thoughtful customer service that ensures every customer’s needs are met
