Our people
Jade - Supervisor
Crown & Anchor
Meet Jade
-
Why did you choose to work for us?
To be honest I was working there before Glendola Leisure took over. But I am very glad I stayed because I made new friends and learnt more about this field.
-
Tell us about your story so far?
There's not much to tell. I am a boring, average girl who likes to work.
-
What do you get up to on a typical day/shift?
It depends on the day because every day is different. If it's quiet I clean or find something to do, I hate standing around not doing anything. If it's busy I just do my job.
-
What do you like most about working here?
What I like most is the staff. They are very hard working and kind people and I can trust them. We all respect each other and although we have our ups and downs we can talk to each other if we have any problems.
-
What’s been your biggest achievement so far?
Getting promoted to Supervisor and being given more responsibilities in my job.
-
What makes someone successful here?
Good communication and sharing responsibilities equally.
-
Tell us about the training and development…
It's really good. I learn new things everyday and it's fun as well.
-
What is it really like to work here?
It's a fun place to work at the Crown & Anchor.
-
What do you think makes us unique as an employer?
That all the staff are different, unique, hardworking people with funny personalities. We are very energetic.
-
What would you say to someone who was thinking of applying?
It's an amazing company to work for and they train you to a high level and give us many opportunities.
A bit more about you...
-
What is your favourite story (film, play or book)?
My favourite book is The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory.
-
What's your favourite song?
There are so many songs I like but if I had to pick it would be Take the World By Storm by Lukas Graham.
-
If you could invite anyone to a dinner party, which 4 people would you choose?
That's funny because I couldn't pick four people. I would invite everyone (it's the right thing to do). I am old school :)
-
What would be your ideal holiday destination and why?
I would like to go to Japan because I'd like to see the Cherry Blossom Festival and learn about the culture. But to be honest I'd love to see the whole world. I love history, culture and sight seeing ruins because if we learn about people's culture we understand people better - that is my thought.
