Incredible picture shows 10 mums and their kids all working in same supermarket

This remarkable picture shows 10 mums and their children working in the same supermarket.

The ASDA Derby store currently has 18 pairs of mums and their grown-up kids employed in it’s store – totalling an astonishing 37 colleagues.

Wendy Fox has worked at the store for 19 years and now her 20-year-old daughter, Ellie, has followed in her footsteps, manning Click & Collect for the last two years.

Lyndsey Mansfield has also worked at the store for 19 years, and now her 18-year-old son George Sims also works in Click & Collect too. 

Wendy said: “When someone says mum here, we all turn around. We are all friends and often have nights out together too. I started out as a temp 19 years ago and I’m still here.”

Lyndsey added: “It’s such a family-oriented store and everyone gets on so well. We socialise quite a lot and it’s nice to bring the kids along. 

“I don’t see that much of George at work with him being in another department, but it’s nice to know he’s there.”

Lyndsey’s partner Richard Baxter works in security at the store and her other children, Charlie, who’s 23, and 29-year-old Amy have worked there in the past.

Lyndsey first worked on the front-end section but now works in the George section of the store. Joking about her son’s name, she said: “He wasn’t named after the George department though, his dad named him after George Best!” 

Their colleague Clare Dean, 58, also met her husband Andrew at the store 30 years ago, and her sisters, Mandy and Sharon, have also been her workmates.

It’s no surprise then that Clare’s  daughter, Alisha, aged 22, wanted to join in on the action, starting at the supermarket three years ago.

Alisha said: “I see mum more here than at home. Each time she comes past she’ll check on me and I do the same when I’m passing her department.

“Everyone know she’s my mum, but I’m only just discovering how many people here are related and now when I look at some of my colleagues I do think ‘you’re familiar’. It’s really special how many mums there are working with their children here.”

Clare said: “I suppose it was inevitable that Alisha would work here too. We have lunch together every day and it’s a real treat working in the same store as her.”
