From earning around £2 an hour as a hotel housekeeper at 14 to running Shell on Earth… I’ve had a few jobs over the years.

Looking back, the ones I loved most all had the same things in common: brilliant people, creativity and the freedom to make the role my own.

Even when a job wasn’t right for me, I tended to stay long enough to learn something from it - about the work, the people and, quite often, myself. Each role helped me understand a little more clearly what I did - and didn’t - want from the next one.

The best thing I’ve carried with me, though, is the people. I’ve always tried to leave on good terms, and I’m still friends with many former colleagues, despite all the years and miles between us.

Running a business has brought challenges I could never have anticipated. Some days I’d quite happily run away from it all; on others, I can’t believe I get to call it my job. But most of the time, I feel incredibly lucky to have built something that brings together so many of the things I’ve loved along the way.

And yes, we really did deep-fry sweets when the chip-shop boss wasn’t there. 🙈🤣

What was your best or worst ever job?
