Tell us a bit about yourself
I am a 25 year old guy who enjoys playing golf (pretty badly), going to watch the mighty Wolves (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and walking my little cocker spaniel Winston 😊. I moved over to Mississippi, America on a football scholarship in 2018 and came back in 2022, which was certainly an experience! I now spend most of my time trying to grow the perfect mullet and finding space for more tattoos!
Describe your job to a five-year-old
I buy the shiny things for your bathroom.
What do you like most about your job?
I like the communication between myself and the vendors by building relationships to ensure the best service for our products arriving into the UK!
How did you get here?
I started off in August 2022 working in order fulfilment and after spending a year in that team a position opened up to cover a maternity leave in supply chain. The original position was only for a 12 month period but after six months I was offered the permanent position, which I happily accepted!
What motivates you?
Knowing I am trying my best to ensure my colleagues are able to have the stock out to their customers for when they require it.
If you could swap jobs with anyone, who would it be?
Probably Gary O’Neil (head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers). I wouldn’t mind taking Wolves to the champions league. 😊

Biggest facepalm moment at work?
“The giant spillage of 2023” – I had a little accident involving a full pint of water and spilling it over not only my desk but the three colleagues that also sat around me, meaning we had to turn all the electric off and have maintenance come up to the office to test all the equipment!!
