Read a Testimonial from one of our Assistant Managers
''What makes the job exciting for me is knowing that I am helping children, parents, grand-parents and anyone in fact, who comes into my store get the toys they are looking for, - every customer needs are different. I especially love children's reactions when they come into store! WOW! is usually the first response and it tells me that we are definitely doing something right to create those memories for them.
Working for a family-run company that looks after and encourages its employees is what attracted me to work here, and why I am still here today! There are so many roles and possibilities, that you can strive for if you want to progress your career. If you are happy in your chosen role, then that is OK too - you are encouraged to be the best that you can be, with tonnes of training and courses to help you!"
