As Assistant Manager I undertook the management training Peacocks offered all new managers and then passed this. I was for a while relief manager around East London and Essex before I was given my base store at Southend. For a 21 year old managing a store was a new and daunting experience for me. Not only were all the workers older than me I was also the last point of call for customers if there were any problems if the Manager be away (she was 3 days a week). However I overcome this and became a Manager that enforced the Companies minimum standards and was able to manage a sometimes challenging team of older people.
