Roche-Bobois

My position for a leading high-end luxury brand was strongly focused on delivering excellent customer service whilst building a trusting relationship with clients with an aim of generating sales and closing deals. My work involved introducing clients to the brand; taking briefs; offering appropriate solutions in terms of models, sizes, finishes, fabrics & colours; site visits & drawings; and following all orders through completion. In my daily routine, I would often liaise with suppliers based in Europe and people in the trade.
