International Women’s Day (March 8th) is a global awareness day celebrating the achievements of women from all around the world. In recognition of this day, and to celebrate women everywhere, we spoke with several employees from different departments at Cosyfeet to find out about their lives and careers.
Katie House - Wholesale & Healthcare Professional Operations Manager
How long have you worked for Cosyfeet and what do you love most about your job?
I’ve worked for Cosyfeet for nearly 22 years and in a variety of roles. What I love about my current role as Wholesale & Healthcare Professional Operations Manager is how varied it is – I get to be involved with everything from customer services, to marketing and product development. It’s always fast paced with lots to do and new challenges to overcome.
Which women do you most admire, and why?
I’m not a great follower of people in the public eye but I do admire many of my friends and colleagues who do a great job juggling working and raising a family.
Outside of work, what achievements are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of my two beautiful, strong and kind daughters.
Do you have a quote or piece of advice that you live your life by?
Treat others how you would like to be treated yourself and always look for the positives in the challenges life throws at you.
Natalie Carter - Digital Marketing Assistant
How long have you worked for Cosyfeet and what do you love most about your job?
I have worked for Cosyfeet for just over a year now, within the Marketing team, as a Digital Marketing Assistant. It’s great to be able to be creative in my role, as that’s something I love the most. Being able to think up new and exciting ideas and always working on different projects - no day is ever the same.
Which women do you most admire, and why?
One person who I really admire is one of my closest childhood friends, who’s recently become a teacher after years of studying.
Outside of work, what achievements are you most proud of?
In 2021, I graduated from university, and I would say that's something I am most proud of. It was really nice seeing all the long hours and hard work pay off.
Do you have a quote or piece of advice that you live your life by?
I've always liked the quote by Walt Disney "If you can dream it, you can do it ”.
Daisy Fahy - Copywriter
How long have you worked for Cosyfeet and what do you love most about your job?
I have worked for Cosyfeet for 16 years (with a year off for university), I started out on Saturdays in the shop and worked my way up through various departments, including customer services and web administration. Now, in my current role as Copywriter I really love being able to produce interesting and engaging copy for our customers across the catalogue and website.
Which women do you most admire, and why?
It may sound cliche, but I really look up to my Mum - she has always been so supportive of me and always done her very best for both myself and my siblings.
Outside of work, what achievements are you most proud of?
I have a little boy, who’s two years old and he means everything to me - so I’m most proud of him!
Do you have a quote or piece of advice that you live your life by?
My grandad always taught me to be kind, so I think before being anything else in life, you should first be kind.
