#happymonday😊 Over the weekend, our @riwhiterose store welcomed Paralympian Hannah Cockcroft MBE for some filming! We were honoured to have been a part of this and we hope you like your gifts ☺️ ...

Last week, our Retail Apprentices were Volunteering with the British Red Cross⠀
stores for two days. This is part of their programme and allows the learner to think about Retail from a different perspective, rather than just fast fashion! ⠀

To celebrate the Women of RIHQ on International Women's Day, last week,⠀
we launched a brand new, limited edition RI Fe-Mail card! Check out some of our pics from our Female Islanders and who we chose as the ultimate winner of a £100 Virgin Experience Voucher! ⠀

"I first joined RI in September 2011, fresh out of university and in a facilities role – mostly working on reception but with a little Staff Shop and Post Room cover. ⠀
I’ve done a lot of growing up at RI; with my role changing I took on new responsibilities and am able to get out to shops and see a side of retail that I don’t think you think about as a shopper. My role’s probably helped me to be more organised in my personal life too as it’s a tool that’s crossed over. I’m also slightly better with UK geography than I was when I first started!⠀ Long term I’d like to take on more responsibility, project manage more and travel more – but who knows what the future holds!!⠀ My advice for anyone at the beginning of their career is say ‘yes’ to as much as you can, & be a sponge with the information given to you – because you never know when someone might ask that random question that you now have the answer to 😊" - Liza Lucas, Shop Planning Co-ordinator⠀ ⠀

"I initially joined on a 2 week work experience after being at the FRA (Fashion Retail Academy) and then got asked for an interview... a week later I had the job in Kidswear as a BAA (Buying Admin Assistant) and I've now been here for 2.5 years!⠀
Buying was something completely new to me but I immediately loved the product which made it so easy to get involved😊⠀
My skills have developed so much! I am a lot more confident now and made lots of friends along the way when moving between teams and as I've worked my way up a bit from an BAA to AB (Assistant Buyer) and have learnt about different product areas along the way!⠀
My ultimate career goal is to become a buyer and travel with my job... I cant wait to see a lot of exciting places around the world.⠀
Anyone can get into buying it's amazing, just love what you're doing in your job and it will be a breeze! And don’t stop trying whenever you get knocked back!" - Brianna Gilmour Smith, Assistant Buyer⠀
