Whilst we may be unusually quiet at the moment, we have been working alongside our local community. We thought you might like to know what we’re up to.

We want to let you know a little more about the people working in Whiteley right now. Whilst we may be unusually quiet at the moment, we thought you might like to know what we’re up to. These are the people working throughout this crisis to ensure our community gets what it needs and stays as safe as possible whilst doing it. They are our heroes.

This is Mark from Marks and Spencer. Mark is an in store trained baker and one of the people responsible for ensuring we all get enough bread throughout this pandemic.

Mark stepped up to keep working because he knows this gives someone else in the team the opportunity to step back and care for their dependants. As one of only a few trained bakers in store, the team have had to be flexible to ensure they are there to bake as often as possible to try and keep up with demand.

As well as bringing us our bread, Mark has also been taking care of his 81-year-old aunt in remission from cancer with regular food deliveries to her doorstep.

From us to you, thank you Mark.

This is Chrissie from Holland & Barrett. Chrissie has been working round the clock to ensure her customers are able to still get their vital vitamins and specialist food during the pandemic. Many of her customers rely on the store for remedies to ease ailments such as arthritis and rheumatism.

Chrissie stepped up to keep working because even though she misses seeing her parents, her situation means she can allow other staff members to remain safe at home. 

Chrissie feels as though Holland and Barrett have taken great care of her whilst she works with extra screens, masks, gloves and sanitiser.

From us to you, thank you Chrissie.

This is Justin from Boots. Before the pandemic, Justin worked in Whiteley store assisting customers with fragrance and electrical products. Since the pandemic, Justin’s role has changed completely.

As soon as Justin saw how busy the number of prescriptions coming into the company had become, he knew he had to help and immediately offered his services, requesting a redeployment to the driver hub.

This change of role now means that Justin supports the delivery team to keep the number of home prescription deliveries stable for customers and care home services. This obviously puts Justin at greater risk but he wanted to step up to support his community, colleagues and Boots.

Justin says he’s so proud of the team at Boots Whiteley and how they’ve all supported each other throughout this time.

From us to you, thank you Justin.

This is Elliot from the Whiteley Service Team. Elliot is responsible for keeping our malls and back of house areas clean, safe and operational at all times. He’s part of a small team of people responsible for ensuring everyone that comes to Whiteley is a safe as possible.

Since the pandemic started Elliot has taken on an extra hours to support his colleagues. Elliot lives with his mum, dad and little sister who is asthmatic so is constantly worried about bringing the virus home to his family. He says he still comes to work though because he has a duty to maintain the centre and make sure everything is clean and safe for our retailers and our community. If he has one message for you, it’s to please only come out to Whiteley if it’s for essential shopping and remember to keep 2 metres away at all times.

From us to you, thank you Elliot.
