'I've faced many different challenges since joining.'

JAYNE PERRY was looking for a job with flexible hours, good benefits and excellent career opportunities to boot. In October 1998 she joined the Dixons Group and is now a Supervisor at our North London distribution centre.

'I was excited by the size of this company, particularly its training and development, promotion prospects and pension scheme. I've faced many different challenges since joining, including picking initial stock for a new store and checking and loading high volumes of valuable merchandise. Now as a Supervisor, it's up to me to plan deliveries, manage staff at the site, make sure all vehicles are loaded correctly and ensure drivers have everything they need. I enjoy working here. I really feel appreciated for what I do and I've had some great training. My most enjoyable moment happened while I was out shopping actually. I was approached by some of my team who told me how much they appreciated having me around to guide and motivate them. This gave me a great feeling and proves that treating people as individuals achieves the greatest results. You get real support and encouragement here. I've developed my skills and used my natural abilities. There's no reason why I can't aim for a more senior management role.'
