Teen Teagan gets a shift on

Shift manager Teagan joined the company as a 16-year-old f­loor associate.

Born and raised in Wigan, Teagan,19, joined the team in 2022 at The Moon Under Water, following in the footsteps of her older sister Shania, 25, who is also a shift manager at the pub.

Teagan explained: “I fell pregnant at a young age, so needed to get a job to support my newborn baby son.

“I worked through the apprenticeship programme with Wetherspoon because I was able to learn and earn at the same time.

“It was a great option and better than trying to juggle work with college.”

Teagan progressed quickly and was supported by her sister and mum.

Her son Noah, now a three-year-old, attends nursery two days a week and, when Teagan is at work, is cared for by her mum.

Teagan said: “Wetherspoon is a great place to work.

“They help in a lot of ways, not just at work.

“I have a very good job, and the wage is really good for my age.”

She added: “I was very shy when I ­first started, yet the job has also helped with my self-confidence, speaking to various people.

“I have def­initely become more assertive.”

Teagan concluded: “My management style is fun, and I always try to do things with a smile, but whatever needs to be done still always gets done.”
