How is this company different from your expectations?

In many ways, it’s exactly what I hoped for. During the interview process and my own research, I saw that Kingfisher shares the values I care about and works with technology that genuinely excites me. I knew I wanted to be part of this team.

What’s pleasantly surprising is just how central engineering is to the company’s success. In a large retail organisation, you might expect tech to play a supporting role—but here, it’s truly at the heart of what we do. Engineering isn’t just an enabler; it’s a driving force behind innovation, customer experience, and business growth. That level of impact and visibility is both inspiring and motivating.
