Ollie attended the Fashion Retail Academy in London. Everything he learned came together when he took a Primark internship. And he hasn’t looked back.
Read moreMeet Ashley. Retail Assistant Cash Office.
I work in the cash office and my key responsibilities include issuing money flows, counting, lifting money and balancing tills throughout the whole day. It’s basically my job to make sure the money side of things is all in order. That’s quite a big responsibility.
Train hard, work hard
When I’m not working, you’ll find me training in the gym. I get a lot out of it. Discipline, commitment, focus. I get to channel all of that and bring it to what I do. At the end of the day, I want to become a manager and have more of a say in how things are done. And the best part is that I am fully supported to realise that ambition. My manager is constantly helping me to improve by showing me what I need to do to move up. The advice, mentoring and learning really is second to none.
The people make it
There are a number of things you’ll need to succeed at this job. Like being good with numbers, calm-minded, focused. Primark is fast-paced, so you’ll need to be okay with that too. Starting out as a retail assistant on tills set me up nicely for that, giving me the opportunity to develop my cash handling skills. But for me, it’s the people that make it.
A great team goes a long way
I’m part of an amazing team. They make everything run smoothly, which in turn makes my job a lot easier. And it’s given me a good foundation for building the skills I need to explore a career without limits.
I just love my team. They always make sure everything runs smoothly.
