Then when you have accomplished all of that in a normal day you then have the pleasure of packing away the display you created in the morning.
So you must be fit, tolerant of fish & dogs, able to climb a step ladder, speak English and be reasonable with writing and maths.
You will be trained BUT we are a very active company so daily time is of an escence making so the ability to learn by looking is paramount.
