Sophie Jones (Robinvale VIC, Scanning Coordinator) 

I’ve been working at Ritchies for the last 6 years, and I've had many different roles throughout the store. I started with working on front end registers, to helping relay shelves during our renovation, to my current role as our scanning coordinator.  I've learned many great things and have gained a lot of life experience along the way and can say that working at Ritchies has been very rewarding for me.  When I'm not working I like to spend my time creating art, and if it isn't obvious my favourite colour is red"
