Today we celebrate 55 year’s of service! ⭐
Many Guernsey folk will know the friendly face of Sylvia Le Prevost, our longest serving colleague, who this month celebrates over 5 decades of service.
Sylvia joined the business in 1969. After spending time working at various food retail stores, Sylvia has been based at Morrisons Daily L’Islet since 2001. 🇬🇬
Sylvia comments that she “really enjoys her job, especially working with her lovely colleagues and meeting friendly customers.” She also fondly recalls the shopping experience being very different in the ‘60s in that all fresh stock was stored loose behind the counter!
To celebrate this momentous milestone, Sylvia was presented with a certificate, a bouquet of flowers, gift vouchers and a hamper of her favourite Morrisons goodies…and not forgetting that t shirt - retail legend indeed! ⭐
Huge congratulations to Sylvia on your amazing retail career and commitment to our business.

Convoy of donations for Jersey Hospice 👕🚛
Matalan Jersey have once again teamed up with Jersey Hospice Care and donated TWO truckloads of clothes for the renowned local charity.
The donations included a variety of items including; baby clothing, womenswear and items for every season. These clothes will be sold in the Jersey Hospice Care charity stores with all proceeds going towards funding the amazing work they do.
The local charity take care of anyone with a life limiting illness.
"We recognise and respect that each person is unique and we therefore offer a holistic approach - which aims to help people get the personalised care they need, make the most of what time is left, and ultimately, to help each person live life to the full. Everyone cared for at Hospice is supported to die pain free, with dignity, and in a place of their choosing." - Jersey Hospice Care
There are not only benefits to our local community with donations such as this. The fashion retail industry contributes tonnes of garments to landfill every year. This is why it is so important that organisations like Jersey Hospice Care, are able to take donations to make sure they are put to good use.
Congratulations to our amazing Brand Marketing Manager Eleyshir James who has won Colleague of the Quarter twice in a row! Not only has she earned the admiration of her colleagues but she has also earned £50 worth of vouchers for the two quarters! Shopping spree sorted!
