Right, I've got 20 bags of two-pound clothes there, okay?
That I need someone to either car boot Or do a pop-up shop Online on a whatsapp group or do a pop-up shop in their living room.
So can somebody come and grab them for me, please?
Right, so Viv is going to take over now as our area manager and The reason she's there now to help everybody in the shop She's there to make sure we are complying with everything.
We are now Triple-checking everything because I check stuff this the shop managers check stuff and they're all very good and Viv is going to come around now and triple check Okay, so we've come a long way since we started on my drive and in Aberbargoed.
Yeah a long way and It's not just on face value where you see us, you know with the four shops in the donation center We've come a long way behind the scenes with health and safety compliance and paperwork and risk assessments You know, we're weighing stuff that's going on shelves.
We're checking the weight limits on things, you know We're doing a lot more.
We're doing a lot more than other charity shops are doing I can tell you that now You know because we don't have half the rubbish mind other charity shops have as well We don't check out half the stuff that other charity shops check out.
That's me on my soapbox for today
Yes, so She's there to help you know In your shops, okay The other thing is that obviously now we've got I'm checked this morning last time I looked thanks to the haters We were on 92,000 followers Thousand followers Obviously that's a lot of messages For me to be dealing with in a week You know and there's there's lots of other things as well.
So It's easier for Viv to go around and sort small problems than me taking messages all the time about problems like I had to speak to staff the other day about like One of them had sent me 14 messages in a day and everyone had sent me 33 is too much I got too much going on like because I dad that particular day because I'd worked it out that day I had like 47 messages off different mothers It's too much for me to be dealing with So in order for me to do my job correctly,
we've taken on Viv now as an area manager So she'd be coming around your shops.
She any problems she will find them and She's there now to help me and she's there to help you guys in your rollers shop managers as well So brilliant.
I think that's brilliant news for us now And I know viv she won't leave a stone unturned fair play to that And she's been with us since we started so i'm well chuffed
