SAFDAR HAIDER

Dear Hiring Manager,
Currently, I serve as a Shift Manager at Lidl UK, where I oversee retail operations, lead a dynamic team, and ensure a seamless customer experience. My responsibilities include supervising daily store activities, implementing planograms, optimizing stock movement, and focusing on KPIs—all while ensuring high standards of customer service and operational compliance.
Previously, as an Assistant Manager at Redwood Furnishing Home, I was instrumental in driving B2B sales, training sales representatives, managing client relationships, and achieving business targets. My role demanded not only a deep understanding of product knowledge but also strategic thinking in market expansion and lead generation.
Earlier in my career, I gained valuable experience as a Store Manager at Bargain Booze, managing end-to-end store functions including staff management, customer resolution, visual merchandising, and cost efficiency.
With an academic background that includes an MSc in Accounting & Finance from The University of Northampton and an MBA in Marketing & Finance, I bring a strong analytical and commercial acumen to the retail environment. Additionally, my recent certification in Digital Marketing Communications enables me to align traditional retail strategies with modern marketing tools.
My experience also includes a foundational role in the hospitality sector, having worked at the Bombay Club Restaurant in Stoke from September 2011 to March 2012, where I developed early customer service skills in a fast-paced environment.
I am passionate about customer-centric retail operations and team development, and I am eager to bring my leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills to your esteemed company.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to your team and support your continued success.
Yours sincerely,
Safdar Haider
