Sainsbury's, Biggleswade
THIS is where I start work today. They’ve given the store a major overhaul in anticipation of my arrival: it reopened on Tuesday last week, extended from 28,000 sq ft to 45,000 sq ft. I’ll be one of a new intake of 53 new staff on the team.
It’s within walking distance of home and I am so looking forward to not having that 2-hour each way commute through London — not to mention the saving in travel costs (though it may cost me a few bob in shoe leather).

I hope it went well Phil. Thinking of you, xx
Thank you
So far so good. Two days induction, to be completed tomorrow, then the real job starts on Saturday.
Sainsbury’s is evidently a company that’s determined to deliver the best possible customer experience and service, and is committed to equipping its staff to achieve that. The Biggleswade team seem like a good bunch, friendly and welcoming: I think I’m going to enjoy being part of it — just need to persuade them to increase the books section…
I’m so glad things are going well so far. Good luck for Saturday hun xxx
