Peter Holmes
Driver and Warehouse Assistant, Kettering
Personal profile
- Age: 26
- Occupation: Driver and Warehouse Assistant
- Employer: Edmundson Electrical
- Location: Kettering
- Education: NVQ Level 3 Customer Service
Peter left school with 8 GCSEs to take up a traineeship with the local Volvo garage. After three years he decided that his career was not progressing fast enough and that warehousing and storage offered greater opportunities. So, he joined Edmundson Electrical in Kettering.
Promoted to run the warehouse
Peter started as a van driver but with the chance to study for the Warehousing and Storage NVQ (level 2) qualification, that Edmundsons run through the Electrical Distributors Association (EDA), he was soon promoted and given the opportunity to run the warehouse. “It’s a fast-changing industry because there is always new legislation and new procedures that we have to help customers understand.”
Peter has recently completed the NVQ (level 3) in Customer Service, and won the ‘advanced category’ award from EDA, which he was presented with at a national ceremony in London.
Peter says
“I feel that I have been given many opportunities to grow and develop since joining Edmundson. It’s an excellent industry to be in and I really believe that I can progress further, perhaps into management – the chances are definitely there!”
