"I worked full time as a buyer and then took a career break to focus on family life.

I live locally and had always been a regular customer at the Garden Centre. I always liked the atmosphere and felt the range of products and customer service was exceptional.

I applied and joined the tills and info team initially part time. Most of my time was spent working on the information desk. I really enjoyed the customer interaction, variance and daily challenges. Later on, I was very fortunate to be asked to assist with the Christmas product buying. This is something that I absolutely love doing.

I am now a retail assistant working 4 days a week. It is a great work-life balance..."

Lyn

Retail Assistant

I started working at Chessington in November 2012 as an Elf in the Christmas Grotto, which was my first real experience in customer service. Afterward, I applied for a permanent Sales Assistant role in the furniture department, though I wasn't initially sure if retail was for me.

Now, 12 years later, I'm the Purchasing Manager, responsible for sourcing non-food and non-plant items. I enjoy the variety in my role, especially the seasonal shifts between Summer Gardening, Outdoor Living, and Christmas, and I’ve been supported with training and guidance throughout my journey.
