LOUIS GEORGE HINTON
Prudhoe,United Kingdom
Summary
After graduating from Northumbria University in the summer of 2024, I returned to my hometown of Grantham whilst I figured out what were the next steps in my professional journey. After picking up a retail job I have been working full time, saving enough to move out. I recently returned to the Northeast to live with my partner and have begun to look for the next step in my career. having worked in a range of work environments from industrial to hospitality, I have broad knowledge of how different workforces interact and have developed rich social skills. I have always brought aspects of creativity within my jobs leading to intuitive thinking allowing for problem solving. As we delve further into the new year, I look forward to what is next for my professional life.
