Yarn Stock Assistant Sept 2000 to May 2002

At Herbert Parkinson I was a yarn stock assistant which is part of the John Lewis organisation. I work in

the goods area, using the forklifts to load and unload the wagons. I took samples of the yarn and then make sure

all the yarn went to the right place ready to be picked. I carried out regular stock takes and learnt to use the computer system. I picked the yarn to take it to any part of the factory that needed it. I also used a pedestrian

electric truck and counterbalance forklift truck to perform my tasks.

Key Achievements:

Developed understanding of the manufacturing industry.

Developed an interest in working history (as this was one of the last weaving mills in Lancashire)

Manage a busy goods in and out area

Work a picking systems

Fork lift truck driving

Processing orders
