What do you like about your job and the company?

During Covid Coca Cola really looked after me.As I have a respiratory illness they insisted I stay off work for over a year.They paid me full pay including bonuses & didn’t claim any monies from the government’s Furlough scene.This was the case for all Coke employees.They have also given a lump sum of money to all employees to help with the cost of living crisis.I think this is fantastic that such a large multi National company look after their employees in this way.It makes you feel that you are not a small cog in a large wheel.In fact it feels like your working for a small local company.

Greatest achievements

I was the Operation’s manger for World duty free at Gatwick airport. This was a 24 hour 365 days a year job I was accountable for the Night operation in the airport. I’m also really proud of being able to work for a large charity.I started the first British Heart foundation furniture & Electrician store & then opened many more. I also managed to take early retirement & be Mortgage free at the young age of 50!

Being focussed on your overall outcome for your career is key working at CCEP. They are so open to helping you to succeed and progress if that’s the route you want to go down. They looks for individuals who are themselves, as there is no company that employs staff that are all the same right? Individuality is what sells to them as a company and is what they look for here. Embrace yourself!

Top Insider Advice

Be at the seat of the table in making the key decisions, this provides an opportunity to hear other people's views across other teams and functions and provides a different perspective as well as the opportunity to shape the direction in a different way. Believe in yourself and your teams always.
