I’ve had a few roles at TKC from customer service through to our warehousing operation so it’s given me a great understanding of the business. I’m a people person and it’s great to be back with all of my colleagues after the challenges of Covid.

Operations Admin Team Leader

I’ve worked within our operation for over 10 years. I actually left but 3 months later I asked to come back, the grass really wasn’t greener. At TKC we’re down to earth, work hard and get the job done with some laughs thrown in. I can always recommend our Christmas party!

I’ve worked for TKC for over 4 years now, predominantly in customer service. My hours have changed around my children and TKC were very supportive when I returned from maternity leave. We have a good team spirit and I’ve met many of our customers in person which I always enjoy.

I work in our credit control team and speak to lots of our customers on a daily basis. Our team is friendly and sociable which is great because I love to talk! We go out together regularly and despite me being reasonably young, I really enjoy our bingo nights.

I’ve driven for TKC for over 20 years and I love meeting our customers, some of whom have been with us all of the time that I have. It’s great to be somewhere that values what I do, kitchen product is fragile and best handled by experienced people. We invest in vehicles and staff, I couldn’t ask for more.

I started at TKC as an apprentice when I was only 16 so TKC’s is all I’ve ever known. I’ve progressed into a number of different roles and always given my all. I’ve also developed some close friendships with other past and present employees so TKC plays a major part in my life.
