Employee Showcase of the Week 🤎Meet Rob🤎
Job Title – Baker
Time at Bakery – 7.5 Years
Favourite Product – Croissants – My favourite Breakfast treat
Best thing about working here – Working nights and having Shannon appreciate me.
Fun Fact – I own a motorbike and I enjoy the freedom of going on long rides.
When asked to tell us about Rob, Shannon was defiantly not lost for words recalling that for 7½ years, Rob has been one of those people she simply could not imagine the bakery without.
Rob started his apprenticeship in 1989 and 37 years later, continues to demonstrate enormous pride in his craft. While most of us are tucked up in bed and sound asleep, Rob is working away through the night with all ovens blazing, sometimes in 40+ degree heat producing bread that quite honestly, comes out like velvet.
Rob is meticulous. He always arrives for his shift early, his whites are crisp, his routine is sacred, and he ensures everything is left spotless for the next shift.
The thing is…meticulous doesn’t mean quiet! 😂 Rob is FULL of personality and character and when he walks into a room, you know he's there! Away from the bakery, Rob loves his motorbike and a good live gig.
Shannon shared, “the thing I treasure most about Rob is his loyalty. He is honest, hardworking, big-hearted and has stood beside me and the bakery with unwavering commitment”
Rob, you are an absolute character, an exceptional baker and a huge part of the Tinana Hot Bread Shop family. 🤎
