From Office Manager to Logistics Manager 

Lisa first joined us as our Office Manager, combining administrative responsibilities with customer-facing sales support, preparing quotations and helping customers find the right solutions for their applications. 

As the business grew and additional sales staff joined the team, her role evolved into what is now, taking on responsibility for despatch, coordinating the shipment of Peppers products throughout the UK and around the world. Her ability to adapt and embrace new challenges has been a key part of her contribution to the company over the years. 

Witnessing two decades of growth 

Having spent more than 20 years at Peppers, she has seen the many ways the business has evolved, from changes in technology and processes to the growth of the team itself. 

Speaking about her on her time with the company, one of the most noticeable changes has been watching new colleagues join the business and seeing Peppers continue to develop over the years. 

“Over the years, because the business has grown and evolved, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside many different people. It’s been rewarding to see the team develop and the company continue to move forward.” 

Making a difference 

Among her proudest achievements are projects that improved the way the business operates, including overseeing the installation of new telephone systems and taking on responsibility for despatch following a colleague’s retirement. 

By her willingness to expand her role and embrace many additional responsibilities, she has helped the business continue in efficient operation. 

A culture like home 

“I’ve always appreciated the autonomy I’ve been given. I’ve been able to make improvements where needed. It’s allowed me to do my job effectively and make a real difference.” 

More importantly, however, it is the people who have made her time at Peppers so memorable. 

“It has always felt like being at home. Everyone is comfortable being themselves, we have a lot of laughs together, and people genuinely support one another.” 

Looking ahead 

As her leaving date approaches, it is the team she will miss most. 

“We have a fantastic team here. Everyone works together, gets along, and supports each other. Over the years we’ve shared holidays, lunches, nights out and celebrations. I’ve been very fortunate to work with such a lovely group of people, and not seeing them every day will be the hardest part.” 

While she may be leaving the office behind, her contribution to Peppers over the last 20 years has helped shape the company into what it is today. On behalf of everyone at Peppers Cable Glands, we would like to thank her for her commitment, hard work and friendship, and wish her every success going forward. 

Tush Thakore, Director, said: 
“Lisa has been a valued colleague and an important part of Peppers for more than 20 years. Her dedication, professionalism and positive attitude have made a lasting contribution to the business, and she leaves with our sincere thanks and best wishes. We wish her every happiness and success as she begins this exciting new chapter in Yorkshire.”
