A day in the life of…
NEIL
BRANCH MANAGER
Although one day is never the same, a typical day always starts bright and early at 7.30am when I’ll work with the teams to set our objectives ready for an 8am start.
Essentially, it’s my job to maintain our high standards, develop our talent and maximise profits at every opportunity. As I’m responsible for the operations team which includes a fleet of drivers, warehouse pickers and supervisors, along with the sales team – both trade and retail, my day is very much led by them and the needs of our customers.
My relationship with customers is key, so there will be visits out to them in the mix, to make sure they’re getting everything they need from us. I’m also the conduit between our head office functions and branch, cascading information out to the team throughout the day also plays a big part.
The end of the trading day will always see us sitting down as a team to review the last 24-hours and tackle the plan for the next day, so we’re ready and raring to go when 7:30am rolls back around!
