Position: Second, Bakery

Core Value: Get it Done with Passion and Integrity

Kelly was acting bakery manager heading into a long weekend during barbecue season when the bun roller broke. Knowing how critical buns and rolls are to the bakery business, Kelly took it upon herself to devise a solution. Kelly arranged to have the buns and rolls made at a store in a neighbouring town. To make it all happen, Kelly had to drive back and forth, even on her day off, to package the buns, deliver more mixes and prepare more product. This sort of service, over and above what was expected, meant customers weren’t disappointed and sales were maintained. “I believe you should always take pride in everything that you do,” says Kelly. “I always put in 110 per cent.”
