My favourite thing about working for the company is how I am encouraged to be myself with customers and in turn I am given the platform to build a trusting relationship with them.

Having chosen to re-join the business, it's pretty obvious I've always been a fan of working with O&CC. I love the network I have of other store managers, I can get help, support and guidance from so many other managers and I really value being able to learn so much from them.

I enjoy how varied the role is, I would hate to have a job that looked the same five days a week. I juggle managing and developing a team with analysing figures, planning and implementing store changes, and being customer facing.

In Partnerships, by supporting our partners I get to keep helping our customers, whilst also learning about a whole different area of the business that I find really interesting.
