Zbigniew Szukalski

Zbigniew Szukalski started working at PVH at age 60 and he still enjoys doing so. Zbigniew may be 66 now, but we hardly know anyone who is fitter than him. His hobby is bodybuilding. At home, he has all the tools to carry out his hobby and that hobby also comes in handy during his work at PVH.

Could you tell us a bit more about your work?
"I work as a picker and packer at PVH. What you get to do on a day is always a surprise. You clock in in the morning and then your supervisor tells you what work is waiting for you. When I start picking, I look for the items on the order lists that we receive from the supervisor. If I work as a packer, I get those items from the pickers and then pack them. Then they are shipped to the customer."

So which do you enjoy doing more? Picking or Packing?
"I like doing both if I’m honest. When I think about it, I don’t pick more than I pack or the other way around. It's very evenly matched. It doesn't matter that much to me. There are colleagues here who have a clear preference and that's fine too. They can indicate this and PVH will see what they can do for them."

How do you like working at PVH?
"Very much. I've been working here for over six years now and I'm not looking for anything else. I can work incredibly well with my supervisor. That makes communication and working easy for me."

What do you like most about your work?
"I really like the colleagues. Everyone is nice and helps each other out. You don't see that often in a company. We work with many nationalities and that's what makes it so much fun. Even though we all speak a different language, we understand each other like no one else. That is great, isn't it? The work itself is also fine, not too heavy but you can keep yourself busy the entire day."

Would you also recommend others to come and work here?
"Yes, 100%. We still need a lot of new staff, so everyone is welcome!"
