Being a supervisor at Toolstation means I have a high number of tasks and responsibilities everyday such as: daily banking, weekly/monthly health and safety checks, man management and many more. Working for Toolstation is a great way of wanting to develop as a person and progress into management, it is one of the few company’s out there giving the younger generation a real opportunity in management and don’t look at the age of the candidate however the skills they possesses.

I started working for Wickes part time when I was 17 and still studying at college, when I finished college in 2017 I started to work my way up through the business. I started at the Glossop store on a 15 hour contract then got a move to the Stockport store for a full time contract of 40 hours. 6 months later I progressed to key holder level then a couple of months after this progressed again to Duty Manager level. Wickes was a great experience into customer service, working closely with products/merchandising as well as learning new skills to progress further into management.
