MEET THE TEAM: Biddy Harrison

A little bit about me…

I came to Loomis 15 years ago as a Shift Manager at the Dagenham branch, where I spent five years before I was asked to work on a project at the Maidstone branch. I didn’t return to Dagenham, as I then spent the next ten years at Maidstone. I worked incredibly hard to progress to Operations Manager and Branch Manager at Maidstone — both roles were extremely challenging but equally rewarding.

Outside of work, I spend my time with my husband and my dog, visiting family in France when we can and hosting them when they come to England. Spending time with my niece and nephew is truly precious.

I love music and I love a quiz — I’ve been a contestant on Radio 2’s PopMaster, which I won, and I’ve also been on Radio 2’s Ten to the Top with Vernon Kay… and yes, I won that too!

Q: What attracted you to Loomis?

I have worked in the CVIT industry for 27 years. I started as a driver and, through hard work, commitment and determination, I progressed with both my previous employer and with Loomis. This industry is what I know — I’ve been on the road, worked in coin, and worked in operations. It has been my life for a very long time.

Q: What is it like working at Loomis? What do you enjoy most about your role?

I left operations in February this year to move into the NAM position to push and challenge myself further. During my time in operations, watching my team grow was incredibly rewarding, along with seeing the Maidstone branch become successful and flourish over the years I was there.

I am proud of the work I have done and the people I have worked with — and continue to work with. You certainly never have two days the same within Loomis, and that’s what keeps me engaged and interested.

Q: One final thought…

Liking your job doesn’t mean every day is easy — it means the hard days are worth it.
