Name: Zsolt Enyedi

Job title: Supply chain manager

Company: The English Cheesecake Company

What was your first job? I was a goods-in operative in a Lidl distribution centre in London, Enfield, one of my favourite roles I have done. It laid a perfect foundation of all the coming roles I have done and my current role as well.

What’s been your worst job interview? One of my interviews was interrupted by a fire alarm at the company’s head office. The interview was held on Teams, and they just left the office without turning the call off or anything, and I was sitting in the call alone for 15-20 minutes until they returned. Sat back in their chair and continued the call like nothing happened.

What is the least rewarding part? It’s a non-stop operation and I need to always be on the ball, with very little downtime!
