MEET THE UHW FAMILY


Noel Pollock

Associate Noel Pollock has worked at UHW for nearly nine years. A typical day might find him stringing or hanging one of the many antique or reproduction chandeliers, repairing a piece of furniture or involved in some aspect of store maintenance.

His friendly way with customers leaves them smiling when he wraps and loads their purchases in the car. "I love the bosses here," he says. "They are fair and honest and I'll want to work here until I retire." Not anytime soon, we  hope.

Noel hails from Jamaica. Prior to coming to Stamford he worked in Florida cutting sugar cane. He and his wife Marilyn have five grown children, three boys and two girls, and 9 grandchildren, among them a set of triplets. He truly relishes the role of Grandpa, so ask about those kids.

He has worked as a chef, and among his leisure time hobbies is cooking such treats as curried chicken and homemade cake. He hasn't forgotten his farming background either; he raises a big vegetable and flower garden which he shares with friends."This year" he says optimistically "with the cool weather, we got off to a slow start in the garden, but by the end of the summer it will catch  up!" Noel will enjoy meeting you and will make you feel like family, so stop in and say hello.
