Albena Gencheva
Harvesting Manager
Location: Whitley Site, England
When did you start with Monaghan?
I started at Monaghan in April 2009.
What other jobs have you done with Monaghan?
That’s a good question! Now thinking about it my answer would be… anything and everything in the Harvesting Department.
I started as a mushroom harvester in Fenton Barns, Scotland. I liked it and I couldn’t stop. After year and a half the company gave me the opportunity to develop myself by promoting me to Product Coordinator, dealing with 150t a week. I was so passionate about this position and the time was going so quickly that it didn’t feel like a year later when I was promoted as Harvesting Trainer, working very close to Training and Development. There I met exceptional people, developing my personality, qualities and commitment to my job. My biggest challenge came when I was promoted to be a Harvesting Manager at the Whitley Site. This was was not only my new role in the company, but my new home.
What do you like best about working at Monaghan?
The fact that the company give an equal chance to different calibres of people to develop their personalities and career. It is not about nationality, sex, religion, age or colour of skin, but the person and personality. The employee engagement is spectacular. Based on my personal experience, as well as knowing that every single effort is appreciated by my manager, encourages me to be even more committed and in love with my job.
What advice would you give to anyone thinking about joining Monaghan?
An invaluable place not only for work and income, but also for new friendships and professional/personal development. If you are motivated, ambitious, committed and full of desire then this is the right place for you.
This is me in the Company:
TRUST the people I work for;
Have PRIDE in what I do;
ENJOY the people I work with.
