Meet the team: Mark Goulding

Tell us about your role at Bluestones One
My role as a Senior Team Leader involves managing teams of merchandisers who are completing anything from small range reviews to full store refits for various clients.

How would you normally start your day at work?
My day typically begins with reviewing the previous shift’s work, then allocating various projects to my team members. I would also be involved with store meetings and updating our clients on the progress of the review and any foreseeable issues.

What does a typical day at work look like for you?
A typical day would involve site meetings and making sure my teams have all the necessary information to complete their tasks. I also train new merchandisers the correct way of working as each client will have specific requests.

Throughout the day I will spend time with each of my team members to find out their strengths and weaknesses so I can implement a plan of attack for the day.

What do you find challenging?
We come up against challenges each day and overcoming them is what I love to do.

What do you enjoy?
I enjoy the fact that each day is different, you never know what each day will bring as each client is different. I enjoy the planning of each job as that way I am prepared before I reach site.

What’s the best thing about working at Bluestones One?
The variety of work is one of the best things. Each client requirements are different and every day you can learn something new.
