I started my journey with Cable Melbourne in 2017. When I started with the company I met Georgie (Director) and Allyce (Planning Manager) on my first day. They both had such passion and enthusiasm and they instilled great confidence in me that St Ives would be a positive place to work. It was true. The St Ives team is a supportive, fun loving team and together we get the job done. I've now seen many winter and summer ranges and seen the brand grow. It's always so exciting to unpack those first boxes of each new range. I love being part of Cable" Mandy – Store Manager (NSW )
