Meet Aimee. Department Manager.

Team meetings and dress-up days

Becoming a trainee manager was my proudest moment at Primark. Day to day, that means lots of team meetings, whether it’s with management, supervisors or retail assistants. But what I love the most are our step-up charity meetings. Primark empowers us to organise events in support of a local charity. So we have a committee made up of Primark colleagues that gets to set up fundraisers throughout the year in order to raise money. We’ve arranged everything from dress-up days and bake-offs to a ‘guess the baby’ advent calendar and a rounders day. I’ve been blown away and inspired by how creative the staff are. These events have been amazing opportunities for me to get to know my colleagues and their variety of skills and talents. It’s humbling. And all for a great purpose too! Seeing their enthusiasm is a true joy. It’s how Primark gives back to the local community, on causes that really touch home. As a business with strong local roots itself, Primark really values the importance of this.
