Cheryl – Community Affairs 

How long have you been working at Cadbury?I joined the company in May 2006. Previously, I worked for Business in the Community as the National Development Manager for Business Action on Homelessness. I worked with both business and charity partners in 26 cities. Prior to that, I worked in Marketing. I graduated from the University of Aston in 2007 with a combined honours degree in Business and Social Studies.

What is your job title and what does your job involve? My job title is Community Affairs Manager UK & Ireland. My role is to support Cadbury sites to engage with Cadbury’s national community partners, including Young Enterprise, Business Action on Homelessness, the Youth Sport Trust etc. My role directly supports a network of over 30 Community Champions who implement local community engagement activity at their Cadbury site.

How does Cadbury develop you?My role enables me to influence and work with the most senior people within the organisation for the benefit of the communities in which we operate, our employees and our business. Employees often find that their involvement in the community is a life-changing experience for them – this is fantastic to see and be part of.

What do you enjoy about your jobCadbury is very good at developing people. When I first joined the business I was sent immediately on a management training programme which supported me to become a Cadbury manager. I have also attended specialist training courses within the field of CSR (corporate social responsibility) to enhance and update my knowledge and skills. Every employee also has regular one-to-one meeting with their line manager as well as half-year and end-of-year reviews. This process of continuous assessment enables you to reflect upon your own style and continuously grow and improve your skills set.
