Job description
Alicja Chrapek - Financial Accountant BUK Rotherham
"Good things don’t come easy but if you are open to new opportunities and challenges,they are here for you. You may start off in one place but end up somewhere else ifyou are willing to put in the work."
It makes me very proud when I go abroad to see the name and the logo of the companythat I work for. Every associate is valued, associates working on the lines are notforgotten and given opportunities as you can read by my experience - theircontributions are recognised as well as same for more office based roles.
I think the support of work colleagues makes all the difference; it helps motivateyou to achieve even better things and that has been my experience.
I originally came to the UK from my native Poland with my husband, in September 2006,initially just for a year. I had recently graduated with a degree in Finance &Banking but needed a job to get started. We got jobs straight away - temporarywork at several companies and then in October 2006 we both started working at NYBCo.through an Agency. It was initially only for a month, working on the line, however,as I was so committed and the company saw potential, I quickly progressed tooperating a Packaging Bagger as a permanent Associate.
In 2008, I was asked to step up again to cover whilst my Supervisor was on maternityleave, a role that covered both Packing and Process. I was proud to become apermanent Area Supervisor.
In my experience, Grupo Bimbo UK are flexible to accommodate personal family planning.I started my own family in 2011. Whilst I was pregnant, my role changed so that I wasworking days only to help me, supporting the Technical and Planning teams in anadmin capacity.
I returned to working part-time on the manufacturing lines as this flexibilitysuited my family life.
In 2014 I had my second child and was off for another year, returning in July 2015to my previous role working on the lines and then in January 2016, I started workingfor the Technical Department full-time as a QA Auditor/Technical Administrator.
Antony Patton – Group Planning Manager Supply Chain
"The business grows and expands every year and is backed by a huge parent company soI feel my job is as secure as can be. The opportunities are fantastic, I would havenever thought all those years ago I would be doing what I am doing now."
More importantly, the people I work with are great, the team spirit and support fromthe very top of the business is what I have experienced.
I joined the company for a very short time through an agency, I was cleaning beltsand helping out on the packaging lines. At the time the bakery was expanding, so Ialso got exposure to the production side of the business. The factory evolved intobuilding a new production line and I had the chance to have roles as a team leaderin both production and packing lines.
I left just as they were building the Alitech line to run a computer repair shop formy parents, which lasted about 9 months. The pull of the company was too great andI ended up re-joining the business again as part of the team that was involved incommissioning yet another new line, and Ispent quite a few days scraping product offthe boards, which was hard work.
I then expressed my interest as wanting to become a shift manager and was given achance to train firstly as cover.
This is where I was trained to plan production of the bakery as this task was sharedby all the shift mangers. After this, there was a restructure and I applied for therole of managing production, I did this for around 2 years before a new role wascreated as production controller which I took on.
I also became responsible for the despatch and goods in functions and areas. My rolechanged to site Materials Requirements Planning and Logistics manager until I becameGroup Planning Manager and now have responsibility for the planning teams at ourthree sites; Rotherham, Maidstone and Welwyn.
This has meant I have been able to grow my experience and skills, as well as travelup and down the country, meet new people, work directly with our customers andexperience new challenges.
