SANDRA: MY PRIMARK STORY 

Sandra's career journey is all about growth and new experiences. Starting as a Payroll Advisor and quickly moving up to a Payroll Specialist, she's embraced every opportunity to learn and develop her skills.

Starting Out

Hi, I'm Sandra.

I joined Primark in January 2025 as a Payroll Advisor and quickly moved up to a Payroll Specialist within the international payroll team.

Originally from Spain, my career journey started when I graduated with a degree in Business Administration and Management in 2015.

I began working in retail and retail banking before moving into payroll, gaining nearly nine years of experience across various industries. Fun fact: I worked at Primark Tooting during weekends shortly after moving to the UK. It was my first taste of Primark, and I loved it!

Why Primark?

Primark has always been a staple in my household. It's the first retailer I think of when it comes to clothes shopping. When I saw the role advertised, I felt it would be amazing to be part of such a great company. Having previously worked on the shop floor at Primark, I knew firsthand that Primark truly cares for its employees. That positive experience was a big reason why I wanted to come back.

Growth and Opportunities

My role involves working closely with the People & Culture teams and payroll providers to ensure colleagues are paid on time and accurately. No day is the same, and I love that I always learn something new. Primark has provided me with numerous training opportunities across multiple international payrolls, even those I’m not directly involved in. These trainings have been invaluable for my technical development.

The Primark Culture

The culture at Primark is very positive, with everyone being supportive and happy to help. Everyone is always ready to lend a hand. This supportive environment, combined with the flexibility Primark offers, is particularly important to me as a mum of two young children. My team is great, and every day feels like a school day, filled with learning and growth. These factors contribute to my desire to stay with Primark for the foreseeable future.

For me, the people at Primark make all the difference. From day one, everyone has been welcoming, creating a warm and inclusive environment that is not always found elsewhere. This dynamic and supportive culture is what makes Primark stand out and why I am proud to be part of the Primark family.
