Jenny Monroe talks to Isobel McGrath, manager of the Golf Outlet

ISOBEL McGrath is the Manager of the Golf Outlet Fashion Leisurewear store in Lisburn Square, which opened at the end of last year. She lives in Maghera with her husband Robert and they have three grown up children and three grandchildren. Isobel divides her time between managing the Lisburn and Antrim stores.

I live in Maghera so I need to leave my house at 7.30am to get into Lisburn for about 9. My time is spent working in both the Antrim and Lisburn stores. I normally spend about four days a week in Lisburn and the rest in the other shop.

When I arrive at work I check my emails and set up the computers and make sure the store is tidy for the first customers arriving. I then have to organise the staff and make sure everyone knows what the objectives for that particular day are. I keep a daily diary and I write down what needs to be done that day and it is available for the staff to look at too.

I spend most of my time on the shop floor and would only be in the office to place orders with our stockists and to do the administration work and organise rotas.
