Amazing Amanda celebrates 10 years at The Joseph Bramah.

We asked Amanda to tell us about her role and why she enjoys working at Wetherspoon.

“What I like about working at Wetherspoon is the atmosphere – it’s like a family. I also like the way we’re treated: if someone falls, we pick them up and start again together. We all have one another’s back, so when the going gets tough, we keep going forward.

When I first started, I felt out of my league and really overwhelmed, yet, with the help of my managers and colleagues, I started to relax and got into it. It took me a little while to learn the ropes, but everyone was so supportive that it really helped to build my confidence.

I love talking to the customers when I’m at work – and, now that we have the Wetherspoon app, I get to take drinks, as well as food, to customers, meaning that I have the chance to chat with even more people.

I want to stay at Wetherspoon as long as I can. I have learned so much and feel capable of doing anything.

There are always new things happening – and I learn new things all the time.

At home, I like to colour, do diamond art and spend lots of family time watching TV shows together. I am 37 and have been to lots of schools and colleges to help to build my confidence and independence. At The Joseph Bramah, I really get to show what I can do.

Pub manager, Ben, says: “It was great to be able to celebrate Amanda’s 10 years’ service at the pub. She generally does 4–8 hours a week and is a firm favourite among customers. I look forward to supporting her in her role over the next 10 years!”
