\n\t\t\tA DEDICATED and much-love shop manager is calling it a day after 26 years of service.<\/p>\n
Julie Snape, the store manager at F.Hinds in Solihull is set to retire and start the next chapter of her life.<\/p>\n
Julie began her F.Hinds journey in January 1999, starting her career under John Sweeney.<\/p>\n
She quickly rose through the ranks, first managing the Chelmsley Wood branch for a year before taking the helm at the Solihull store in 2005, where she has remained a cornerstone of the team for the past two decades.<\/p>\n
Prior to joining F.Hinds, Julie honed her people skills and leadership from her time as a pub manager, and earlier, trained as a hairdresser. Her diverse background and passion for customer service helped build lasting relationships with both colleagues and customers.<\/p>\n
\nJulie said: \u201cI have loved working for F.Hinds, especially because of all the family history. I love to tell people that I have worked for three generations of the Hinds family. Firstly Roy and Eric, then David, Neil and Andrew, and now of course Paul and Jeremy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI work with a wonderful team and couldn\u2019t do my job without them. I would like to take this time to wish them all a big thank you. You are all amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the years, Julie\u2019s become a watch enthusiast, growing her personal collection to around 15 and said if she had she gone into the trade sooner, she would have loved to have trained as a watch technician.<\/p>\n
\nJeremy Hinds, F.Hinds retail director said: \u201cJulie has been a valued part of F.Hinds for the past 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer dedication to her colleagues, her commitment to great customer service, and her loyalty to the company have set a high standard.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thankful for all she\u2019s done and wish her the very best in her well-deserved retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
