Margaret Pickard

Job title: Checking and Post Associate

Time with Office Depot: 10 Years

Location: Leicester

I joined Office Depot in 1988 and, although I am still in the same role and department as when I started, my role has developed quite considerably. In addition to my role I now support the new members of the team and demonstrate the processes to visitors.

My basic day to day duties involve checking that our customer’s orders are correct. I confirm that each cartons contain the correct products and that it is packed correctly. For orders that are too small to fit safely into our carton we send them out in delivery bags. I also keep each work space fully stocked and deal with any issues that may occur so that the department can run smoothly.

Through Office Depot I have the opportunity to help the surrounding community by lending my time to take part in a scheme called "Right to Read". With this project we help school children improve their reading skills and further themselves with qualifications.

What I love about Office Depot is the teamwork, pulling together not only to get the job done but also to deliver a high standard of service to our customers. In some places of work it can be easy to feel unappreciated, but not here, the management team listen and support every member of the warehouse team.
