Gemma's journey at WHSmith
I started working at WHSmith Highstreet in May 2008 as a distributor in Stationery.
Over the years I’ve worked in a number of different teams across stationery, gaining knowledge of the business and the end-to-end supply chain.
While working in the Core stationery team, my son finished his education and I felt that I could now concentrate on myself, my career, and I’m now an assistant merchandiser within the core team.
WHSmith is a great place to work with a friendly atmosphere, I’ve always felt supported and encouraged to succeed.
What I love about working here at WHSmith is the work culture in the office and the nature of the job that I do. It's given me an opportunity be involved in so much new stuff and it's just the nature of the work ethic that we have here is that we're constantly evolving.
The culture I would describe here as collaborative, supportive and fun. I feel like it's really inclusive and everyone feels comfortable participating and contributing which makes it a really happy place to work.
