When Saima Ahmed returned to work in 2009 after a career break, her focus was simple: finding flexibility that worked around her family. Balancing school runs and home life, she never imagined where her career might lead.🫶 From the beginning, Saima was supported and encouraged by her General Manager, Nadeem Ghazanfar, whose belief and mentorship helped her see potential she hadn’t yet recognised in herself. As Saima moved through customer service, operations and leadership roles, each step built her confidence. New stores, new challenges and opportunities pushed her beyond her comfort zone — and reshaped what she thought was possible. Today, Saima is a Senior Manager, regularly stepping into the General Manager role and leading teams with empathy, coaching and trust. “If you’d told me in 2009 that I’d be here today, I’d never have believed you.” Saima’s journey shows that with flexibility, long‑term support and leaders who invest in people, growth can happen in ways you never expect. 🌱 #CareerJourneys #FlexibleWorking #WomenInLeadership #RetailCareers
