Margaret Kowalczyk

Technician at Well Pharmacy

"I'm Malgorzata, but everyone calls me Margaret and #Ilovemyuniform for a lot of different reasons. I've been wearing it for the past 8 years (obviously not the same one), working in a small community pharmacy in Taunton, Somerset.

My uniform is like my body armor, it helps me to step into my work mode and makes me feel professional.

As a pharmacy technician I have a lot of things to do every day, from serving customers to dispensing medications and helping my work colleagues as well.

My uniform is ideal for my role, because it has pockets, where I can keep all the pens, it's comfy, it comes with a jacket, which keeps me warm, as I always feel cold for some reason, and I love the colours, black and blue. I can't imagine my job without my uniform! It makes me feel professional and customers instantly know who I am. #uniformhero"

How Margaret feels about being a uniform hero

"Thank you so much, I'm speechless - I just didn't expect it! I'm really happy, you surprised me so much!

I don't usually take selfies, but I just thought I should look like a hero. Heroes usually have a cape so I stood proud showing off my uniform. I heard about the uniform hero campaign from my workplace and didn't expect so many entries.

My uniform is like my body armor, it says who I am. When I am in my uniform it says I am professional, I'm a Technician, I am part of the community - I serve my patients, help my colleagues, it defines me as a professional, it is me."

"It means the absolute world for Margaret to have won the Uniform Hero out of 300 entries, it's phenomenal! Her entry was beautiful and I'm glad that she is so happy in her uniform.

If another colleague wanted to enter the uniform hero campaign, just go for it!"

It meant the world to Margaret to win the Uniform Hero competition out of 300 entries, it is amazing! It meant so much to her, and we are all really happy for her. We're proud that she feels proud in her uniform.

If you want to enter, enter! You have nothing to lose, and there are some great prizes and goodies up for grabs!"
