“My colleagues are keen to take a look at the wide range of courses on offer which I believe will unleash the massive potential of the workforce in our store,” she said.
“This is also about making sure every member of the team here gets the chance to improve their skills, from writing and numeracy to even learning a bit of Spanish for the holidays.”
