Claire Robertson – An Inspiration to everyone!
For those of you who watched BBC1 last night and seen the inspirational story of one Woolworths store managers’ fight against the odds to keep her store, her staff and her job, I’m sure you’re feeling as inspired as we are here at AceJobsOnline.
For those of you who missed the story, check out, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4596801/Woolworths-manager-reopens-store-as-Wellworths.html
After Woolworths went in to Administration and closed its doors after almost 100 years trading, across the country some 27,000 staff were devastated, but, instead of accepting defeat, Claire Robertson who had managed the Woolworths store in Dorset for 5 years, managed to secure £100,000 worth of funding, re-hire her 20 staff, bought 1000’s of pounds worth of stock and re-opened the store as Wellworths, not to mention bringing Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans along for opening day, all within a few short months.
A true inspiration to everyone and look out – we’re trying to secure a Video Interview with Claire for the website sometime soon!
Until next time,
