What do you like about your job and the company?

There are two words that sum up this role - availability and compliance. You can only sell why the Consumer can see - eyeline is buy-line - the most stretched resource the stores have is labour so ensuring that if there are gaps in the shelf it’s not the CCEP products that are missing is key. Wise folk in the respective head-offices of CCEp and the national chains have worked out store plans to achieve the most profitable results - we make sure these are implemented. You can really see the benefit you add to stores between arriving and leaving each day.

Its important to have a career plan, break it down into chunks e.g. next 12 months, 2-5 years then 5 years plus. Make the right people aware of this plan. After all how can the leadership team support you if they dont know your aspirations? Then its important to understand what skills are needed to make the next move. Breadth moves are very usefully as it expands your overall knowledge which ultimately helps with career development. With all this in mind its also important to be flexible and adaptable. Seek out advice from senior peers who would have probably been in a similar situation in the past.
