British Wool

Jim Bond

This job is suited for someone who is fit and has a strong back, 2 years i worked here. Huge 200 kilo Wool bags Falling onto trolleys that you catch with falling from 10,15 feet and trying to catch it is a massive safety hazard that was the first thing to try to get use to with some painful accidents I remember I twisted my back and it was the worst pain i have felt in my life abscess aside, did get the hang of it though they didn't force me to move heavy objects that day I respected that, you will feel like an outcast at first because no uniform is provided when the full-timers have. I didn't feel apart of the team sometimes only when I was with billy or Gordon I did, so I competed with everyone especially the contractors, outmatched them I think I did anyway many of times. I started getting that respect that I deserved was my achievement, I might be a small guy but I shifted about 100 bags a day if your lucky Probably way more. Think the targets were 30000 kilos a week The staff are the best, kind down to earth people understanding except one thinking they are better than you. Christine, Gordon, hammy, can't remember his name think it was Rab, was brilliant to work with, Billy the boss is a legend he is composed man very intelligent when it comes to identifying wool. Working here you will meet all sorts of great people, if I had the opportunity i would work there again.
