Julia HowarthBed Sales Specialist, Knaresborough | 14 years
Q. How has your role developed over time?
A. I began my role in admin for the Knaresborough office in our previous Knaresborough store. I was always interested in getting onto the sales floor, however because everyone likes working here, nobody ever seemed to leave! After 4 and a 1/2 years in the office, a position became available, and I jumped at the chance to apply. Fortunately, I was successful and have been on the bedroom sales floor ever since.
Q. What is the environment like in your team workspace?
A. The environment is friendly, open and full of light, a pleasure to work in.
Q. Do you find Barker and Stonehouse to be a positive and supportive place to work?
A. I enjoy meeting new people, and of course, the buzz of getting the sales too. I love the diverse and ever-changing ranges of furniture and accessories, how the shopfloor displays change with the current trends, seeing all the new supplier products and learning about these new collections. I have also had the opportunity to attend supplier training trips to learn about products and have even been to Germany to do this.
