One dedicated team member has clocked up 20 years of service at the Four Seasons Shopping Centre, Mansfield.
Housekeeper Dianne Williams will be celebrating her 20th anniversary on Friday, 10th October. Her time at Four Seasons has seen plenty of changes, including new shops and staff members who have come and gone over the years.
Ahead of the landmark occasion, she said: “I’ve absolutely loved every day I’ve been here. I wanted to come and work for Four Seasons as my Dad worked here as a security guard. He had been here for about 14 or 15 years before I started but unfortunately passed away just a few months after I got my job there.
“One of my sisters also worked at the centre as a Housekeeper so we had some really happy times and I have lots of fond memories.
“Every day is different and that’s the main thing I love about working here. Meeting new people and seeing the same faces who always stop to say hello and have a chat is lovely! I often get recognised by the youngsters who shop at Four Seasons when I’m out and about and I even have fans on Facebook!”
For Dianne there is no contest as to what the best thing about working at Four Seasons is: “Being here at Christmas is wonderful! I love the grotto, decorations, atmosphere and late night shopping – I can’t sleep with excitement and anticipation the night before the grotto comes to the centre! It’s just magical and by far my favourite thing about working here.”
Rebekah O’Neill, centre manager of Four Season,s said: “We are delighted to be celebrating Dianne’s 20th anniversary in October. It’s such a fantastic achievement and her dedication and hard work over the years is remarkable. It’s great that even after all these years Dianne still loves coming to work and really enjoys her job; and I’m always keen to get her approval on our grotto – as she’s our resident expert.
“We are looking forward to celebrating with her and here’s to another 20 years
