Year 5 - 1998
From part time team member to store manager.

- Role: Store Business Manager

- Joined Officeworks: 1998
I started in February 1998, and I’m currently a store business manager.
What I really love about working at Officeworks is the people. Seeing others change, grow and develop and become their best selves has been truly inspirational.
I’ve been with the business for 21 years, so there are too many great memories to count, but what really stands out is that no matter how much the business changes, and it has, in every way imaginable, what hasn’t changed is our motivation to always try and to do better and be better.
For me, the biggest highlight of the past few years was winning store of the year (two years in a row!).
I started out as a humble part time team member, doing 15 hours a week, and across my career I’ve worked in many of our stores, opened new stores, closed stores, been involved in a number of projects, become a store manager and even taken on roles supporting area managers. There’s always new opportunities coming.
