Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: LORRAINE INEZ PRIDGEON – INTERIOR DECORATING CONSULTANT AND DESIGNER
I am an interior decorator, presently based in Zimbabwe, with over 20 years experience running my own
interior decor and design business. I hold a British passport and, due to the adverse economic climate in
Zimbabwe, I am actively looking for work in other countries.
I specialise in interior decorating and design conceptualizing, proposals and executing small, medium and
large projects.
My strong points are:-
1. I have had my own businesses.
2. I am friendly and confident, and get on with people.
3. I have had 34 staff who I trained in advertising and marketing, and have interviewed and employed
staff for my company, Marketforce Advertising, for many years.
4. I am hard-working, professional and energetic, and give clients my best efforts.
5. I am creative and artistic and well organised – with a good eye for colour.
6. Have a knowledge of fabrics, and have worked with Hertex, Stuart Graham, Biggie Best, U & G,
Mavromac, St. Ledger & Vinney, DT Designs Cape Town and with beautiful pure cotton linens
from the Linen Drawer (South Africa) for hotels, lodges and the private sector.
7. I am an agent for Dulux and Plascon paints.
8. Have strong administration skills.
9. Have a good knowledge of re-upholstering, cushion make up and sizes, curtaining ideas and make-
up, and I sold African Cane and Co (top quality local handmade furniture and softs) for 5 years.
Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss my CV and work experience. I would be happy to
discuss any queries or potential job offers.
I am available for contract work or a permanent position.
Many thanks and kind regards,
LORRAINE PRIDGEON
