Nourish is made up of lots of wonderful people who all share a passion for health and wellness. Whether you’re a wholesome foodie, knowledgeable naturopath or Nourish newbie, we’re always looking for positive people interested in natural products. Here we meet some of our team mates who take on different roles at Nourish.
Store Manager:
Lorna McCarron
Lorna joined Nourish in 2021 as our Donaghmede Store Manager. Lorna’s 16 years of experience coupled with a degree in Nutritional Therapy proved to be the perfect combination for a leadership role with Nourish.
‘I really enjoy managing a team. It’s so rewarding to see my colleagues progress to leadership positions, and I love being able to pass on my expertise in retail.’
Lorna also takes pleasure in helping customers to find the right products to fit their needs.
‘Health and nutrition have always been a key focus for me. I get great satisfaction advising customers on the right solution for them.’
Training Assistant:
Ally McDonald
Ally was a Nourish customer before joining Nourish. ‘I visited Nourish regularly to pick up different supplements and foods and always found the staff to be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful’.
She joined us in 2012 as a full-time Sales Assistant in our GPO Arcade Store in Dublin. At the time she was studying Nutritional Therapy, which complimented her role perfectly. Ally progressed to Assistant Manager, and then Store Manager before joining the Training Team as our Training Assistant in 2020.
Ally’s favourite thing about her role is working with people who share her ethos for health and wellness.
‘It’s great to work with a like-minded team who all have the common goal of supporting people to live healthier, happier lives.’
As part of the Training Team, Ally plays a central role in designing and curating training materials to equip our teams with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively advise our customers.
‘I love how much Nourish invests into developing knowledge; they value expertise and prioritise education and learning.’
Stockroom Supervisor:
Daniel Carroll
Daniel joined Nourish in 2020 as a Stockroom Assistant before being promoted to Supervisor in 2021.
‘I really enjoy the fast-paced nature of the role. It’s very hands on and I’m always kept busy. I’ve picked up some practical skills in stock rotation and stock management. It’s also great exercise!’
Daniel enjoys being immersed in the world of whole foods and this role has helped to expand his knowledge of health foods.
Training Manager:
Rita Tarvydaite
Rita is our Training Manager at Nourish and, together with Ally, ensures each member of staff is equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to advise our customers. Rita joined Nourish as a part-time Sales Assistant in Nutgrove back in 2011. She then moved to our GPO Arcade Store where she progressed to Store Manager before joining the training team as our Training Manager.
Rita is a trained and practising Herbalist and Naturopath and has a wealth of knowledge on health, nutrition, and herbal medicine. Rita also follows a vegan diet, so she always has some great tips on cooking up tasty plant-based meals and snacks.
Rita was originally drawn to Nourish after hearing about the training provided for all staff. Her favourite part of her job is teaching and creating training materials for our teams so that we can provide the best customer experience across our stores.
Essentials Manager:
Líadan Taylor
Líadan joined Nourish in 2021 having previously worked as a vegan and health food chef.
‘The role in Nourish matched up nicely with my passion for vegan food and nutrition. Nourish is a company that focusses on individual progression and has a similar ethos on sustainability and nutrition to my own.’
In the space of 10 months, Líadan progressed from Sales Assistant, to Store Supervisor, to her current role of Essentials Manager where she leads the teams in our Stephens Green, ILAC Centre and Portmarnock locations.
‘In the short amount of time I’ve been here, I’ve met some amazing people and made close friendships, making it a truly great place to work.’
