Karen Marshall

I originally started with Bonds in 2002 so have been with the company in one form or another for 22 years. I started as a receptionist and went onto work as a Sales Ledger Clerk, then Sales Support Manager.

I look after stock ordering for some USA suppliers along with centrally held stock in our Manton Wood site. I also get involved in forecasting for the wider business, range listings for Field Sales accounts, SAP masterdata, including set up and pricing.

My job is very varied, no two days are the same. I get to liaise with the Commercial & Field Sales teams, Buyers and Customer Service trying to link projects together to help things run smoothly. The best thing about working for WoS is the people. I’ve met some great characters over the years.

I’m a huge Nottingham Forest fan and have been going to matches since my Dad started taking me aged 7. I’m also a regular blood donor and have donated 83 times so far.

My favourite sweet is Jelly Blue Babies
