How long have you been working for RR and why did you decide to join the brand? Well, this answer is going to be very incriminating….Commenced in Feb 1988 as a 14 year old @ Reds Kelmscott, casual cashier in the early days then worked my way up to payroll supervisor prior to starting a family, then returning in 2010 as a coordinator with the QLD team.
