“Under the Spotlight”, Ryan.
Lead Hand – Maidstone Operations
The purpose of this is for our people to get to know
you a little bit better, in a fun and relaxing way.
So let’s get right into it…
First of all, Congratulations on your 5th year Work Anniversary. Thank you for all your hard work over the past 5 years. We are all very proud of you.
In the greater scheme of things, five years is quite a long time to be at one employer. Tell us, what has kept you motivated during this time?
"The hours are stable which helps me to build a routine into my life. I’m able to go to the gym out of peak time which is great. The hours of my job also gives me the opportunity to focus some of my time to work on a dream that is personal to me which is creating a clothing brand of my own."
Whilst working for S&R, do you feel that you have learned vital life skills that you can take with you into later life?
"Since joining S&R, I’ve found myself brushing shoulders with people from different cultures and walks of life and being given this opportunity has taught me to get along with people who are not necessarily from the same background as myself.
We respect and value the opinions of all our employees so, as a Lead Hand, if there is one thing that you would like to change in our company, what would that be?
"I would want everyone to be multi-skilled and able to perform all the tasks equally within the production department at Maidstone."
Now onto the more fun stuff…
What do you do to relax when you’re not at work?
"I love shopping – I’m obsessed with trainers and clothes – I have 74 pairs of trainers.
I enjoy going to the gym. I actually love YouTube – I enjoy learning about the reselling culture that is developing online today, particularly in clothing and footwear."
