With a diverse background of employment experience, my strong learning and retention skills have significantly contributed to my achievements. I successfully operated a collector car dealership specializing in sales, service, and restoration of classic vehicles. Over four years, my business thrived through strategic investments while leading a team at one of Canada's largest specialty automotive shops. Consistently tailoring services to address specific client needs, I navigated daily challenges to ensure smooth operations. Working with high-profile clientele demanded precision and excellence. In peak season, we averaged sales of 40 vehicles per month while managing customer repairs and restorations. Regrettably, the pandemic forced me to make challenging decisions regarding the business's future.
Prior to my involvement in the automotive industry, I gained experience in front and back-of-house roles in hospitality, retail, and catering for exclusive events. I also collaborated with my family in our business focused on selling unique, high-end gemstones sourced from Sri Lanka. After the closure of the company, I gained valuable experience in fleet management, consulting within fleet services, insurance claims and claims advising, as well as client services and customer satisfaction.
