My name is Sam and I started at Dressability as an Administrator in December 2020 – I have an extensive administrative and accounting background along with a caring, empathic approach to people.
Although it was a bit of a shaky start due to coming out of the November lock down and then going into another one in January 2021, once back into the office, I started to meet the very talented dressmakers and some of the fantastic volunteers. It confirmed that Dressability is clearly a very professional and friendly place to work.
The work that is done here is absolutely amazing – the skills of the dressmakers and seamstresses are so impressive that often you cannot tell what alterations have been made. This is so important to our clients – that they are still able to wear the clothes that they wish to wear. The bespoke alterations also gives them the freedom and independence to continue dressing themselves.
I love the admin work I do here especially because I know that it is part of something much bigger. I am so glad that I am able to put my knowledge and skills to such a deserving cause.
