Lesley, who has a learning disability, began her Asda journey through a voluntary work placement in store, which allowed her to learn more about Asda as a company and the different roles available in store.

With the support of Triangle, she then secured a 12-hour post as a Personal Shopper with Asda Coleraine in 2011.
