I will always love to work with Ilyas again. Ilyas has always brought in amazing energy to the team and was someone I could rely on as well as delegate tasks other members of staff may not be able to do, e.g. Merchandising, Manager Authorisation for tills etc. Ilyas was someone that was able to quickly learn all departments which is seen as a major accomplishment as not many find their footing as easily as Ilyas has within every department. Ilyas was someone I would have 100% looked at for a Supervisor role if that was something he would have been interested in.
