Every year here at the Spicery we have a week of swapping jobs and a team competition as part of staff team-building. First we swap job roles to get an inside look at our colleagues' typical working day...this year we had Amy showing Jim the ropes in the kitchen and Jim showing Amy how to pack the spices!
Meanwhile in the spicestore Dan explained to Jack the intricacies of weighing kilos of spices in order to make all our the blends for recipe kits. Then Jack showed Dan how to be a whizz on excel.
Liz also took to the kitchen to learn how to take a good food photo...and finally Alice learned about website editing!
TEAM COMPETITION!
We split up into two teams this year to renovate a space at Spicery HQ - Team One chose the Entrance Foyer and Team Two chose the toilets! Check out these before and after photos and find out who won below!
