Why I love my job – Jenny
Jenny Roberts, Buyer and Merchandise Co-ordinator for St Ann’s Trading Company, tells us about her role and some of the things she loves most about working for the hospice…
“My role includes buying new goods to sell in our high street shops and putting together seasonal catalogues to promote stock.
“I’m based in our Distribution Centre in Reddish, where I manage the warehouse day-to-day and manage and promote our drive-thru donation days and Distribution Centre sales. I also take donations and sort them for the shops and sale days.
“I’ve worked in charity retail for 20 years, including buying for national charities, and I’ve been at St Ann’s for four years.
One of the things I love most about my job is knowing that every penny I help raise goes to support the hospice.
“My favourite part of the job is putting together the Christmas card catalogue and choosing the range of cards.
“I love meeting people at the drive-thru donation days and Distribution Centre sales. People are very generous and want to support St Ann’s.”
