Testimonials
Debbie - Business Sector Advisor
Debbie joined the Corporate Dept with no Catering background but with a motivation to learn and succeed. After 9 months she was asked to run a Business Sector, which she gladly accepted. She wasn't disappointed. Within her first few months she'd taken the sector from missing targets to hitting every target given.
"Career progression is really encouraged here. I would never have thought I could run my own sector when I first joined but my manager has given me his full support and confidence, which has made my job easier."
"The best part of my job is the variation offered by never knowing what my customers want next, it could be a stocked product or one that I have source from other suppliers".
Nick - Warehouse Supervisor
After working for several major warehousing despatch/distribution operations over a period of years Nick joined Nisbets in the Warehouse. Six months later he successfully applied to become a Picking Team Leader and as his ability and talent has continued to be recognized he has again been promoted and is currently a Picking Supervisor.
"I still enjoy the differing day to day challenges that working in a large team within an expanding business offers. I put my success solely down to training provided by Nisbets, coupled with hard work and simple self motivation."
Wesley - Warehouse Operative
Wesley began working for Nisbets in December 2006. His general duties are order-picking and packing but he soon came to find that there are a variety of different jobs in the Warehouse that also need to be completed on a daily basis.
"This variety adds to job satisfaction. There is also a variety of cultures and personalities within the Warehouse working together as a team, which is a refreshing change from some warehouses I have worked in."
David - Trainee Accountant
Nisbets offered David an excellent opportunity as a trainee accountant. A full time job in accounts, offering experience in all areas of a busy finance office, with sponsorship and support through many years of an accounts course.
"My career with Nisbets started in 2005 and I am delighted with the support received through my ongoing education and the opportunities given in the accounts environment."
April - Call Centre Advisor
April’s first experience of Nisbets came when she spent a week in the Call Centre on work experience and enjoyed it so much that the week just flew by! Everybody was so friendly and she enjoyed every minute so, when she decided to leave school, Nisbets was a natural choice.
"My current role provides great diversity whether it is helping customers with their new orders or arranging returns and replacements of existing orders. I am extremely happy in my current role. The company is fast paced and continually moving forward offering further development and career progression so who knows what job I’ll be doing this time next year!"
Claire - Call Centre Advisor
Claire worked for a courier firm in a small office and was looking for something more challenging. She learned that Nisbets had plenty of opportunity for progression due to the rapid growth of the company, excellent company benefits, a lively and friendly atmosphere with lots of organised social events.
Within a short period of time, Claire had progressed so well that she got the chance to work in a specialised role to develop her skills further. She had also enrolled to do a level 2 NVQ in Customer Services and is very proud of the certificate presented to her upon completion.
"I have now been with Nisbets for 3 years and still enjoy the new challenges presented to me every day. I enjoy solving problems when they arise and work with people from around the company to make sure that everything runs smoothly"
Samantha - Call Centre Supervisor
Samantha has worked for Nisbets over an 11 year period and has enjoyed the opportunities offered by a growing company. In recognition of her skills and experience, she spent 6 months in one of our overseas offices as part of her management development training. Samantha is now a Supervisor within the Call Centre with responsibility for 6 Team Leaders and their teams.
"I am pleased to say I recognised the opportunities available when I first joined the growing team as a Customer Service Advisor. Having enjoyed the challenges, I was soon promoted to a Team Leader role and, with the support and training from the Management Team, have been successful in taking this further still. I am very happy to be part of this family run business where staff are important and the customer always comes first."
