I began working at Heron Foods as a Warehouse Operative in 2002.
Back then we were shunting roll cages around by hand and picking orders for around 100 stores. It was hard work but I enjoyed it. So much has changed for me since then and for the company, now we use electric barrows or LLOPS to move stock.
I’ve been promoted four times – first to Team Leader, and then Supervisor, then to Operations Manager and now I’m the Warehouse Development Manager. Meanwhile Heron has moved to a new National Distribution Centre and grown to 250 plus stores.
