Sean just won employee of the year with us. Sean is doing really well, and was presented with the award today by Daniel Boyle, our Financial Controller.
Sean continues to progress well, and is now doing more advanced work with me, including Excel Spreadsheets with “copy and paste” and “autosum” and it’s a little more challenging which he really enjoys!

Sarah Behan -
I've worked in Tesco since 2001 in various roles. It's handy to have extra cash to do things. If I have any issues, Connect are always there for me.If I want to take some annual leave, I tell my manager and my job-coach. Also, I'm doing work experience in a reception and I'd like to work in an office in the future.
