Chloé Hazlehurst is now store manager of Costa Coffee in Neston. She shares the story of how her journey with franchise owner Sim Trava began.
I joined Costa Neston as a Barista in January 2016. I was so excited to be opening a brand-new shop in my hometown and working for a new company.
I had never heard of a franchise before, it was all a learning curve for me. I worked in the Neston Costa for six months before being promoted to Assistant Manager at our Frodsham Branch.
I always said I would become Store Manager of Neston one day, the town in which I was born and grew up in. My Nan, Jean Benson, was a popular Neston resident who used to own Bensons the greengrocers with her brother Gerald. I remember going to visit Nan in the shop when I was little and always saying how I would want to run my own store one day.
After being in Frodsham for two years, I finally came back to Neston last year and became the full-time Store Manager.
Sim Trava have really helped me to grow into the person I am today. If somebody had said to me in less than five years I would go from being a trainee barista to running my own store, I would not have believed them.
"With the support of Sim Trava I am a much more confident person and really do enjoy coming to work each day."
