What our colleagues say

"Working as part of the Night Stock team, we work behind the scenes, through the night doing the heavy lifting, to get the toys on the shelves! The customers don\'t see all the hard work we put in, breaking down pallets of deliveries and preparing stock to be taken out to the shop floor or stored in the stockroom. We\'re only a small team, and the time goes fast, but we get it all done when we work together... and having music on helps too! We price stock, we might sometimes change window displays and we most importantly, we make sure the shelves are full ready for the next day of busy trade. I quite like being able to go home in the morning, and say hi to my family before they go off to work, and then get into bed to catch up on some sleep... ready for the next shift!"
