Sometimes I'm very thankful for the jobs I've done in the past... We were all-set to move into our new house a couple of weeks ago when the housebuilder went into administration. It felt like a bit of a bombshell when we heard on STV News on the Monday evening, and it's been an uncertain couple of weeks, that's for sure! However, a few speedbumps in my career when heading through changes have probably helped me get my head back in gear and back in the right place. I've not felt like this since we couldn't work out how to fill up Grimsby Extra when Tesco did their first split opening there and our systems didn't like it. Or when we had to airlift food into Shetland when the boats didn't run before Christmas. Or when we had to move quickly when the PM decided to stop Italians coming into the UK the weekend before our first camp coming out of COViD in 2020. Each time we got our heads up and focused on what we could do and were going to do, rather than getting bogged down around what we couldn't or weren't. Choosing your attitude in difficult times is very important for your own wellbeing and that of those around you. Life is full of setbacks and speedbumps. They're just opportunities to bounce up and bounce forwards, and to learn. It's been a good day off so far and a bit of time to focus on Plan B and a busy weekend ahead! #Intention #Behaviour #Outcomes #Event #Mindtalk #Response #Mindset #Impact #OnwardsAndUpwards

SPC is excited to share this month’s Employee Spotlight, Milton Fernandez👏🏼 Milton has been nominated by his manager for going above and beyond at SPC. He plays a crucial role as a warehouse manager. We asked Milton a couple of questions to get to know him better: 1️⃣ What is your position at SPC and what do you enjoy most about your job? -My title is Warehouse Manager. Although our clients pay the bills, it is important to remain customer focused. Our success is dependent on client satisfaction and that is always on top of my mind, but our people and staff are the ones that make it happen daily. I'm fortunate enough to work with a great group of people that are willing to work hard to get the job done and meet our client’s needs. 2️⃣ Tell us how you ended up at SPC. -Building relationships with clients and the management team is important for career growth. I was fortunate enough to have worked previously for Teresa Frederick. After some time, our paths crossed again and the rest is history. 3️⃣ What do you like to do when you're not working? -Now that my wife and I are empty nesters, we like to try out new restaurants, take road trips to neighboring states, and take evening walks.  4️⃣ What is your dream vacation? -A European vacation. That's definitely on my bucket list.
