M&S Sheldon colleague celebrates 40th anniversary

Kerry Revell, a Customer Assistant at M&S Sheldon is celebrating her 40th year working for the retailer.

Starting as a 16-year-old at the Birmingham store on a youth training scheme, Kerry was offered a permanent position at the M&S Solihull where she worked for a number of years across both the Food and Clothing and Home departments. Following the closure of the Solihull store, Kerry relocated to M&S Sheldon Simply Food where she now works as a Customer Assistant.

Over the years, Kerry has worked in various parts of the business, including Deputy Supervisor of Food and as part of the Visual Styling Team which was her favourite job, and a role she worked in for over 20 years.

Throughout her work at M&S, Kerry has seen the launch of many brands and seasons, but her personal career highlights surround decorating the store and launching the Christmas windows each year.

About celebrating 40 years, Kerry said; “I’ve experienced a lot over my 40 years at M&S, from the launch of Per Una as well as the launch of Christmas food to order. Along the way there have been challenges, but I’ve made the most wonderful friendships and have had such fun and laughter the whole time.

I’ve worked in so many different areas of M&S and have gained invaluable experience at all three stores I’ve worked at. Whether it was being the Deputy Supervisor of Food, being part of the Visual Styling team, or a Customer Assistant, interacting with our customers is truly always a pleasure.”

Elizabeth Kempton, Store Manager at M&S Sheldon added; “We’re incredibly proud and lucky to have Kerry on our team! She is such a valued colleague and all our Sheldon customers say what a pleasure it is to have Kerry in the store. Kerry always goes above and beyond for everyone, whether it’s mentoring new colleagues or assisting our customers, she has an unwavering passion and commitment to what she does. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Kerry on her 40 years of service, and look forward to working with her for the years to come.”
