"I started in 2004 as an apprentice in one of our retail shops, after four years I moved over to head office to the Finance department where I studied accountancy, and then became the Finance Manager. A few years later I then moved over to the Commercial department and I am now the Head of Commercial and Cruise."

Recruitment

"I started as the training department's apprentice where I learnt all about the training we offer and I took on a lot of training operations jobs. Once completed I started to take on more responsibility within the following year, and was given the opportunity to become a learning & development coach, where I support and develop our head office apprentices throughout their apprenticeship programme."
