How long have you worked at the<br />
brewery / in telesales?<br />
Next year will be my 15th year at the brewery<br />
– and all of those have been in telesales. I was<br />
taken on initially as maternity cover, and all<br />
these years later I am still here (so I must be<br />
doing something right!)<br />
Do you look after any groups in particular?<br />
I am the go-to ‘groups girl’. I look after tenants<br />
for Heavitree Brewery, the Enlighten Group,<br />
and also Heartstone Inns. As well as these, I<br />
am responsible for a couple of national groups:<br />
the Stable <strong>Res</strong>taurants & Bars (including one<br />
in Birmingham) and three Three Joes outlets<br />
(including one in Sheffield). Because these<br />
customers are spread far and wide, order input<br />
accuracy is essential!<br />
What made you want to work for the<br />
brewery?<br />
Being a Cornish girl, I knew that the brewery<br />
had an excellent reputation as an employer. I<br />
wanted to be part of a true Cornish company<br />
that I could be proud to say I work for.<br />

What is your favourite drink?<br />
I’m currently enjoying No.10 Malbec from<br />
Argentina. This is a new wine to join our<br />
existing portfolio: bold, rich, and spicy in<br />
style. Bursting with blueberry and blackberry<br />
flavours – delicious.<br />
What is your favourite St Austell beer and<br />
why?<br />
Our brand-new cask beer brand, Anthem, is a<br />
lovely, fresh, and light golden pale ale. It’s easy<br />
drinking at 3.8% and brewed with 100% British<br />
ingredients.<br />
What do you enjoy doing when you are not<br />
at work?<br />
Now my son is at university, it is just me and<br />
the dog! She is a working cocker spaniel called<br />
Ruby. We can often be found in the local<br />
woods where Ruby particularly enjoys sniffing<br />
out the rabbits!<br />

What do you enjoy most about your job?<br />
As my telesales colleagues will all tell you, we<br />
are a fantastic team! We all support each other<br />
and enjoy a laugh to help us through the busy<br />
days in the office (I am quite often the butt of<br />
the jokes – that’s mainly down to Neil).<br />
