“My journey started at Sainsbury’s, I joined as a management trainee and worked for around ten years in the stores, they then sponsored me to go on and do an MBA which gave me a different direction and allowed me to learn a lot more about how a large organisation works. I did functional roles in HR, supply chain and commercial; the latter role that I then did after about twenty years with them was to run the stores in London.
