Hirsch’s recently appointed Pam Gaddiah as Manager of their Hillcrest branch.
Pam, who has been with the company for 25 years, started working for the Hirsch’s in Umhlanga as a cashier.
“When a position came up for a Sales Consultant I applied for the job – and was lucky enough to be taken on in sales– this changed my life,” said Pam.
“I stayed in sales for just over 2 years, achieving my highest salary. I set a goal for myself, wanting to purchase a car. Not only did I achieve this but I also managed to assist my husband in purchasing his new car.
I was encouraged to become a training manager and once a position opened up, I again applied and took the chance to further my career. I was lucky enough to get the position of Assistant Manager in our Pinetown Branch (which has since moved up to Hillcrest.)
I am delighted to have been appointed as the new Branch Manager.
Our goal at Hillcrest is to continue to provide superb service to all our customers and to establish stronger relationships with all clientele. Hillcrest is growing faster and getting bigger and we will be expanding the store.
Margaret Hirsch is my role model and someone you can admire for all her achievements, recently winning Business Woman of the Year 2012. She is also responsible for the strong woman I am today.
I would like to thank the entire Hirsch family for the great opportunity they have given me over the years. The knowledge and experience I have gained is amazing.”
