They weren’t just celebrating the festive season at Sainsbury’s Bury Park’s Christmas lunch.
The branch was also commemorating 40 years service by Maureen Roberts who started with the company back in 1972 at the age of 27.
She first worked at the Arndale store on the evening shift for 10 hours per week. In 1974 she became an evening supervisor, a role she did until she moved to the Bury Park store where she took on the role of chief display assistant. She then became a general assistant, a role which she still continues with today.
