I came to work at schuh from a background of working in the Financial Services Industry for a large life and pensions company that I joined straight from school. I worked my way from Administering Pension Schemes to latterly providing SQL Server Database and Application/Server Support. Since joining schuh at the beginning of 2018 as a Database Administrator I have been made to feel very welcome and have met lots of talented individuals who have worked in the company for many years. The switch in sectors to Retail and to schuh in particular has been an exciting and refreshing change, working in an open, honest and relaxed environment which has exposed me to a lot of new technologies. I have been hugely impressed at the professionalism and strong work ethic that forms the core of the company’s culture. Supporting and Developing within the large complex infrastructure which consists of an up to date software stack requires experience, knowledge, skill, hard work, diligence and above all else the ability to enjoy yourself and have some fun along the way! I have been given the time and all the support required to help me with the transition to my new role and have already managed to make an impact by suggesting and implementing some improvements to existing processes. I am accustomed to and enjoy being settled for the long term in my place of work and I get this from being surrounded by good people who genuinely care about the success and future of the company that they work for. I get all this and much more working at schuh and I hope to spend the second half of my career working here. It’s the old cliché “I wish I had made the move years ago”! p.s Not compulsory of course: If you enjoy ten pin bowling we have bowling nights If you enjoy eating out and going to the pictures we do that also If you enjoy a game of golf I am a member of a course close by for a game Last but not least if you like lots of new shoes and have a wardrobe big enough we can accommodate that also ©
