meet lexi, retail assistant in our gateshead metrocentre store
About me
Hi, my name is Lexi and I’ve been part of the Primark Gateshead Metrocentre team since November 2023.
I've a keen interest in Lego, steam locomotives and the Titanic. A fun fact about me is that I built the Lego Titanic in only 9 days!
My Career Journey
Finding a job wasn’t easy for me because of my disability, but Project Choice helped me get work experience at a local hospital which helped me build confidence and skills. My career at Primark started in November 2023 when I joined the team for the Christmas period.
I started out in the loading bay, learning to use all sorts of equipment and even helping unload the delivery wagon. Later, I moved to the shop floor, working on Menswear, and now - with support - I work on the tills.
Why Primark?
Primark has given me more than just a job. I’ve made friends here and love engaging with the different events happening. I’ve helped raise money for charity, I’ve been invited to attend award ceremonies and even walked the runway as a model in a fashion show. Every day brings something new and exciting.
A Parent's Perspective
“Lexi working at Primark is so much more than a job and some money in his pocket. It’s independence. It’s a circle of friends outside of his family. It’s confidence to try new things. Nights out in the Bigg Market to walking the runway in a fashion show. It’s developing aspirations for the future he’d never have considered before. The impact isn’t just on Lexi - the rest of the family feel it too.” - Sally, Lexi’s Mother
