Abu Adam,
Distribution Support Co-ordinator
“I started working for UK greetings back in March 1991 at the age of 19 as an Order processing clerk. After a year I moved into the Order Writing Department. This was a challenging part of my career where I took calls from customers and supported Sales Representatives. Communication and working with others to meet deadlines was a key part in this role. New ways of working and system upgrades also helped us work more efficiently. This gave me an opportunity to work with other departments including the Distribution Centre which led me to move to our Cannon Way site in early 2000. Our DC holds more than 28,000 Picking locations and around 38,000 storage spaces. Everyday brings new challenges and working as part of a larger team has given me the opportunity to develop and be part of an everchanging Distribution Centre.
More recently I had the opportunity to manage the Receipting Office. This has given me a different challenge in managing people, so I have been enrolled in the Leadership Development programme which I plan to complete later this year. This is helping me understand my leadership style and how I can adopt my style to lead the team successfully.”
