Name: Connor Cross
Job title: Warehouse Supervisor
What time do you get up?
Not too early, 7am start for me.
What is your early morning routine?
My early morning routine consists of waking up, always having a cup of tea before I leave the house, get ready and set off about 7:30/7:45am
When does work start?
When does it stop?!? I am at work by 8.15am, ready for the rest of the team arriving for an 8:30am start.
What does a typical day look like?
As I arrive, I’ll usually have a bowl of cereal or toast, and then I’ll get the warehouse ready for the day ahead; power up the compressor and printing machines etc. I will then look at the previous working day to see if there’s anything that needs doing, brief the team, check the day’s stock and then plan what needs doing accordingly.
What are the key challenges you face in your role?
Custom orders can sometimes be a bit of a challenge as can the ever-changing volume of work and orders.
What is the best bit of your job?
I love the job and working for Gastite® the company is very supportive and understands that life happens. I also enjoy the fact that we have a tight knit family-like team, coupled with us all pulling in the right direction to grow the business and to help each other.
What time does work finish?
5pm, though I’ve lobbied for a half day finish on Friday, but it doesn’t look like that is coming in any time soon! ?
What do you do in the evening?
Yoga on Wednesdays, the occasional Leicester City football match, date nights with the better half and just chilling out watching TV.
