This month we speak to Dean Tiller, Retail Assistant Manager.
What’s the best thing about your job?
Great job satisfaction – providing a sustainable way to shop for our customers, knowing they are getting great value for money whilst helping to raise funds to provide important services and treatments to those that need it most.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever been given?
Choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life!
Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn’t know.
I have a bus licence and I’m a massive Bucks Fizz fan (the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest winners, not the alcoholic beverage!).
Describe yourself in 3 words.
Thoughtful, passionate, friendly.
If you were going to rule the world for the day, what law would you introduce?
Everyone would have to perform a random act of kindness every day.
Your best place for a holiday is?
Malta for sunshine or good old Butlins for an 80’s themed music weekend.
