Wanting to get back onto Day shifts, I found a job at Burton Roofing Merchants working in the yard. Although a step back from my previous role at Booker, I felt it was a necessary change for my own well-being as anyone who’s worked nights will understand. In this role I undertake general yard/ warehouse duties including loading and unloading or lorries, picking orders and serving customers as well as booking in goods in deliveries.

In January 2021, still working at Booker, I earned a promotion to Replenishment coordinator on the night shift. This meant that if my supervisors were off I would take charge of the night shift operation. I was trusted with keys to the building and alarm/ security codes for the building too. My role consisted of making sure the night shift ran as smoothly as possible and we achieved what was needed for us to be ready for the day of trade ahead. I would take lead and alongside my own tasks, for example unloading lorries and checking off deliveries, I would delegate tasks that I deemed necessary in order of importance.

I started working at Booker in March 2017, initially as a Branch assistant on front of house duties, this meant I would serve and help customers with any queries. After approximately 6 months I moved onto the delivery department, my role here was mainly as an order picker. However I also spent time out on lorries as a drivers mate as well as being trusted with training up new pickers. In December 2019 I moved onto the night shift, still in the delivery department. I acquired a Forklift Reach truck and counterbalance license as part of my role on nights was to prep deliveries and load them onto the fleet of lorries. I also had access to our full Midas system as I would also be required to help key through underpick reports and invoice using Midas.
