A FORMER waitress and pub cleaner has been taken a career step forward with Llandudno Junction’s social enterprise Crest Cooperative.

Llinos Hughes of Penmaenmawr volunteered to work in with Crest’s cafe before being taken on as an employee, where she has learned new skills in the retail side of the enterprise.

She said: “Working at Crest has helped my confidence to grow so much. Being in retail allows me to interact with customers much more.”
