Football academician Becky
Keen footballer Becky has celebrated 20 years with Wetherspoon.
Becky started work as a pot-washer at The Five Quarter and is now an area manager for Wetherspoon in northeast England.
Her sister Vicky was working there at the time and suggested that Becky should apply.
But while working at the pub, she had her sights set on other things.
From pubs to purchasing
Alex’s career at Wetherspoon
Alex first joined Wetherspoon at 17, working as a floor associate in The Earl of Dalkeith (Kettering).
Alex was attending college as part of the football academy for Kettering Town and looking for a local job.
While moving through the ranks to become an experienced manager, Alex gained valuable experience of team management and the day-to-day running of pubs.
Monster area!
Abby Herdman, an area manager, has followed the career path she wanted for herself and marked 20 years’ work with the company this summer.
Abby was promoted to her area manager role in 2017 and is responsible for a dozen pubs across Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire, as well as one in each of Rutland and Stamford near Peterborough (Cambridgeshire).
She admitted: “Geographically, my area is a monster and I do spend a lot of time travelling. However, I have a really fab job – and what I love the most about it is the people.”
