• Numerically astute and confident using Excel and basic maths (for handling framing orders)
• Presentable, with a strong sense of professionalism and attention to appearance
• Excellent customer service skills and a positive, approachable manner

Additional Information

• Training will be provided in‑house for our printing and scanning workflows
