Ahead of Mother’s Day, Asda Maryhill is celebrating the Spence family who have collectively worked at the store for over 50 years.
Mum Gwen Spence has been a part of the Asda team for almost 35 years.
Her daughters, Stephanie, 34, and Teigan Spence, 21, have followed in her footsteps, working at the store for 18 and five years respectively.
Gwen Spence, Asda Maryhill’s grocery section leader, said: “Both my girls wanted to get jobs as soon as they turned 16, mainly for a bit of extra money when they were still at school.
“It just felt natural for them to join the team here at Asda Maryhill.
“I’ve always known that it has a welcoming and supportive team, and I knew they’d fit right in.”
Gwen expressed her pride in her daughters’ hard work within the Asda team.
She said: “Our family has a strong work ethic, and I’m so proud that we’re able to work alongside each other every day.
“It has been really special to see them grow, not just as my daughters, but as part of the team here.”
Stephanie Spence, Asda Maryhill George assistant, said: “Mum has always been a huge inspiration to both of us.
“She works so hard and has always led us by her example, at home and now in work too.
“Teaching us about responsibility and being proud of your work, she has definitely instilled that same drive and dedication in us, and I know it’ll stick with us for life.
“It can be fun working with your mum!”
Teigan Spence, Asda Maryhill twilight section leader, added: “I feel so lucky getting to work alongside my mum, there’s never a dull moment.
“But I am looking forward to spending some quality time with her and Stephanie outside of work, when we take her out for Mother’s Day.”
