Testimonial from an ex employee

Thank you for an amazing 4 years. Working here and with you has been truely a huge learning curve and a massive stepping stone. This job has moulded me into the excellent employee I'm thought of. And also the person I am. I beleive no other job could have done this.

I have particularly enjoyed the last year or so, reaching my goal of being 'till girl'. I aspired to be a table clearer! I was very proud to be an employee of the park, and still am!

This business is truely inspiring, a family run business for young families. I really felt part of the family working with you all!

It is sad to leave you and this job I'm really so fond of, but in oder to pursue my life in Australia in October I have to take this path.

Farmer Palmers is always going to be in my memories, after all I have met life long friends here, you hosted my 16th birthday party, I met my 1st love and the job has pointed me in the direction I want to go in life.

Thanks for a wonderful employment.

Becky Mitchell

 

We are also able to consider mums returning to work who need 9.30am to 3pm term time or possibly 16 hours a week. Bear us in mind.
