Derek Dillinger is the manager at Tesco, who gets Sophie so angry, that she decides to quit, and follow her heart. Later she thanks Derek, even though he does not fully understand why. When he reveals that she was well liked by her customers, and that he appreciated her communications skills too late. Derek is a drinking friend of Peter Smith. They often meet down the pub, for a jaw.

 

Derek recalls Sophie, and later makes her an employee with "Heart." With a big leaving party. Writing to head office, that she lifted the spirits of her co-workers, and himself. Derek tells Sophie's mother and father, what a wonderful daughter they have.
