Kieron Hyland – VIC Supermarket Supervisor 

When did you join Ritchies? I started with Ritchies in November 2001 working after school and on weekends, and thenthroughout Uni.   

What do you do at Ritchies?  I Supervise a group of really great stores in Victoria, working in the day to day operations, helping meet store goals and KPI’s, and support the store teams with any issues.  

Tell us about your career path.  I started at Ritchies as my first job at 15.  I worked in many departments throughout high school and Uni.  When I finished Uni I had the opportunity to be a manger in a store, moving around from time to time between stores.  I have had opportunities to work in many stores in lots of cool places in Victoria and also in NSW.  In more recent years I moved back to Victoria to Supervise our Northern Victorian stores, and now our Peninsula stores in Victoria.  

What do you enjoy most about working for Ritchies?  Being part of a great team. Our teams in store are really connected to their customers and community and in the process have great opportunities to do great things in store.
