One of my biggest worries has been how to guarantee a reliable salary for an employee when I cannot predict how much work my business will generate on any given day. Some days we receive just a handful of orders, and on others there may be quite a number to pack and dispatch. I feel lucky to have found Becky so quickly, she seems both capable and good company (important when there are only two of you in the office), and she’s also willing to make up her hours on days when business is quiet by mucking in with the household chores - fantastic! Now, all I have to do is learn how to operate payroll, should be easy eh?
About Me
- www.orchardcards.co.uk
- I'm 39, happily married and mother of Kate (5 years old) and Charlie (3 years). I trained and worked in finance for 16 years, but set up orchardcards.co.uk in April 2006 because I couldn't easily buy tasteful and unsentimental cards in my local town - I used to visit John Lewis (an hour away) every few months and stock up on about 20 at a time, and I figured there must be others out there like me who would like to buy nice cards by mail order. The other members of the Orchardcards.co.uk team are my husband Richard and colleague Becky Pass
