The LEGO® store leader who loves to build teams. Meet Heather 😍
Heather is passionate about two things: LEGO® bricks and people. As one of our store managers, she loves the opportunity this gives her to helping her team to develop and our guests to discover the joy of building.
“When I was little, my dad had a huge red bin full of LEGO bricks, I used to beg him to let me play with them. I would sit for hours and build everything from cars to houses to castles. These days, I get to do this, as well as creating fun games for my team to help them explore their skills."
"It's a challenging and rewarding job, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing company. I love the fact I work for a brand that genuinely cares so much about its people and values as they support our growth, encourage us to be creative, and prioritise our well-being."

“I remember when I first joined, we were the only store in our state; it was an amazing experience to be a part of. Stocking the shelves and seeing the excitement on people's faces when they walked through the door was unforgettable. That’s why I look forward so much to new store openings. I get to hire a brand-new team, and we get to grow and learn new things together every day.”
Heather is clearly very much engaged in her role and invested in her team. But how about when it comes to customers. What does she enjoy most about this?
“Being a part of the toy world has always been a passion of mine. You’re a part of the special moments in people lives including birthdays, graduations, school awards, and everything else. Parents often use toys as an award for achievements. When they come into the store with their children, you get to be experience that with them.”

“It’s what my team and I love about what we do. We’re super-supportive of one another and we share ideas about how we can make our brand come alive. Everyone has the support to create; everyone has the support to improve.”
When it comes to her own career path and work/life balance, Heather is equally enthusiastic:
"The support from the LEGO Group is endless. From supporting and investing in my development and work-life balance, to mental health, the LEGO Group sticks to their people promise! I am proud to work for a company that doesn't just say they care but shows it everyday."
