Jill Smith - Area Manager
Since I joined Card Factory as a Store Manager, I have had a whirlwind journey. I love the pace and the passion of the business and the job keeps me on my toes. Thanks to lots of hard work, determination and the support of the company, I’m pleased to say I’ve worked my way up to Area Management.
Paula Hunt - Store Manager
I joined Card Factory seven years ago as a part time sales assistant. I worked my way through the ranks and was eventually promoted to Store Manager. I really enjoy my job as Card Factory encourages its managers to work on their own initiative. Every day is different and it’s a great team to work within.
Linda Parsons - Assistant Store Manager
I started as a Sales Assistant and was soon promoted to Supervisor at a new store then to Assistant Manager. This is a role which provides me with ongoing daily challenges thanks to our ever changing seasons. I really enjoy the daily running of the store, keeping on top of new displays and merchandising the new stock.
Rebecca Ambler - HR Administrator
I started working for Card Factory in Dewsbury as a Sales Assistant, then wanted to move to an office based role. So, rather than leaving the company, I applied for a role in HR admin. With my understanding of the processes and paperwork store managers have to complete, I was perfectly placed to deal with the paperwork.
Stephenah Hainsworth – Warehouse Picker
I’ve worked in the picking department since 2006 and I very much like the atmosphere at work. It’s very friendly and I can chat and work at the same time. The role really suits my outgoing personality and it’s very handy for local public transport.
Aiden Bramald - Risk Assessor
I have quickly become a valued member of the team at Head Office, dealing with risk assessments throughout the stores across the UK. I have a maintenance background but I am now undertaking some great training including a professional NEBOSH qualification.
