Bakery queen in line for retail crown
It was a cake walk to choose the latest regional winner for New Zealand’s prestigious ServiceIQ Retail Professional of the Year Award 2015. Selena Campbell is owner/operator of the popular Rosebowl Bakery and Café in Fielding.
She might be a great baker, but it was her excellent customer service skills coupled with her business success that made her the stand-out lower North Island regional winner say the judges.
ServiceIQ Retail Sector Manager and awards judge Clare Savage says: “Selena is a highly motivated and innovative manager with lots of engaging ideas to keep her customers coming back. She has created a fantastic retail business by making sure her customers receive consistently great service.
”On-job training has helped the ambitious baker and retailer achieve her goal to develop a successful and sustainable business.
“It’s been the most amazing experience and I have learnt so much. It has made me want to achieve more and progress my career into higher levels of management,” says Selena.
“Having a passion and drive for your job - it’s what you need to get the best out of every experience and push yourself to learn new things and give the best to every customer you serve.”
The 2015 ServiceIQ Retail Professional of the Year Award winner will be announced at this year’s prestigious Top Shop Awards to be held in Christchurch in early September.
