I recruit for Optical and Pharmacy.
A bit about me and my role...
I've been with Asda since 2024, and recruit for all salaried Healthcare positions within our Optical and Pharmacy businesses.
A fun fact about me...
I'm a long-suffering, avid Nottingham Forest fan, having been to home and away matches since the age of 4. Beware of chatting to me on a Monday if we lost at the weekend!
My favourite Asda product is...
The fresh pizza counter, it never fails!
