I have worked full-time at Rycote for 16 years, before that I was lucky enough to do out work for Rycote when my children were little, so I've probably been with Rycote for 20 years in total. I am very good at what I do which is very hands on. I work to get the job done as quickly and as best I can...While working for rycote I have learnt many new skills...My first job with rycote was as a cleaner, not long after I started the cleaning they offered me some outwork to do... Which was hand stitching lots of little lavies and 20 years on I'm still sewing them at home aswell as working in the rycote factory 8.5 hours a day ... When I was cleaning and working from home my boss /the owner of the company asked me for a meeting..I had no clue what it was about ??? When I got there,, I was told the meeting was actually a job interview to see if I was suitable to join the team in the factory??? That was June 2006 and I'm still there and loving what I do now....When I started in the factory, I was glueing softies, then moved on to learn how to use an industrial sewing machine and an industrial overlocker to sew a windjammer with the fur Rycote is known for.....I eventually mastered it ...Then was moved on to assembly and glueing of the windshield(my permanent job for the last 15/16years ...but in-between that ...I was taught how to use the new embroidery machine and another machine that I will have to find the name for ?? My most recent achievement with Rycote was being taught how to use the injection moulding machine....I was shown how to do every job at Rycote so I could cover anyone that was off ... Yes alot of it was hard to learn and took time !!!!!! But I got there ,,and I did it ... And thats all thanks to one person believing in me .... I've alot to thank my first boss at Rycote for .....
