* Picking customer orders and assembling them in our customer area
* Loading customers' goods into their vehicles by hand with a smile and a friendly comment
* Keeping the computer system up to date with the warehouse and stock information, and using the computer system to check and maintain customer orders
* Replenishing displays in the showroom - e.g. when items are sold from our clearance and seconds area, replacements must be taken from stock and installed out on display looking highly presentable
* This will require some DIY skills
* Fixing items and helping with showroom, vehicle, and building maintenance
* Stock checking
* Delivering customer orders - accompanying our driver on two-person deliveries and occasionally driving the company vans (if over 21)
* Keeping the vans and Smart Cars washed and maintained
