Nominated for companywide Thrive Award: Helen has gone above and beyond consistently over the past 18 months. She has just been promoted to Junior Buyer on Kidswear but operated at assistant buyer level on Mens Jersey and Brands, which is by far the busiest department on the floor. Not only excelling at her day job Helen is always one to put her name forward for additional responsibility, taking on the POS co-ordinator role for menswear and assistant rep for mailer. In addition to this one of Helens finest qualities is how approachable she is. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and she is always willing to assist where she can in helping any team member no matter what level they are. Helen encompasses all the values we hold as a business and that is why she is our Menswear nomination BBC.
