Panel Beater Professional

Summary
I have been a passionate coachbuilder for many years and have turned my hobby into a profession. I have an eye for detail and always strive for 100% performance.
Thanks to my energy and ambition, I was able to significantly expand our family business, gain important customers and create a unique selling point in our district.
In 2008 I crowned my passion with the Bachelor Professional, which greatly expanded my horizons and opened up new paths and opportunities for me.
Customer contact and customer satisfaction are my top priority.
I have been working in company management for about 8 years, writing cost estimates and invoices, setting appointments and ordering parts, solving daily problems and keeping to our schedule.
Employee management and employee discussions is also one of my tasks.
Two years ago I joined the management team and look after international customers mainly in English
