Spotlight on ... Julie Lister

Julie Lister, manager, Portland Nurseries, Huddersfield

What would you consider your biggest achievement in 20 years at Portland Nurseries?

Progressing through my career from senior of the baby room to being one of the senior managers in the company. Having the opportunity to work across all age groups with an amazing team has enabled me to support the setting to develop and grow.
