"Follow Jo" brings you a series of updates from Johanna Irwin, who’s just joined us as a Consultant.

Jo already has an idea of what Jamie at Home’s all about as her husband is our Assistant Accountant, Andrew Irwin! Keep checking back to see how she’s getting on and how she finds juggling a busy family life (Jo and Andrew have four daughters!), working as a teacher and Jamie at Home.


9 November

This has been the busiest week I can remember. Quite apart from working at School for four days this week, I've held three parties, been to Sea Cadets and written school review reports for 140 kids. And that was all by Friday!

On Saturday I provided IT support for a public meeting in Tangmere, and on Sunday I joined the Remembrance parade in Chichester as a staff member of  the Chichester Harbour and Selsey Sea Cadets, along with three of my daughters, in the pouring rain.

The three parties I told you about last time were on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. What a start to November!

I am also proud to tell you that I have now achieved Fast Start seven weeks after joining Jamie at Home - helped by the fact that I sold a complete set of Baloo cutlery on Wednesday simply because I had some teaspoons in my display! Once the Customers have the product in their hands, it simply sells itself.

Debbie, my Manager, has just this minute sent me a message telling me that I have gone to the top of her team. That sort of support is amazing in giving me confidence and spurring me on.

Must go, have to sleep...!


Love Jo x
