Sarah-Jane’s Story

Hi, I am Sarah-Jane and I have worked in the Partnership since 2009. I started off as a part-time student on the fresh replenishment section. Then, some years later, I moved over onto the Fruit & Veg section of the shop where I received a full-time contract and was later signed off as a Fruit & Veg Specialist.

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been passionate about fruit and veg. I’ve always found it very interesting on where produce comes from and how it grows, as well as all the different types there are!

My role involves stock replenishment, sharing my passion for food with our customers and other Partners. I make sure we have the right stock in at the right time, as well as maintaining eye-catching standards throughout the day.

It’s hard, heavy work, but I do adore what I do in branch.

Working for the Partnership has really helped my self-confidence. Believe it or not, in the early days I was shy! Luckily, my managers and my fellow Partners have helped me to overcome this.

My favourite thing about working here is all the people you meet along the way. From our customers, to fellow Partners and our Maintenance team.
