"I came from a background in hospitality, so moving into buying and merchandising was a big change - but it’s a profession I’ve come to really enjoy. This apprenticeship felt like the perfect opportunity to advance myself and explore something I’ve grown passionate about.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned is how the world around us - from global events to customer behaviour - directly impacts what we do every day. The training has opened my eyes to that wider picture.
The best part is being able to do the job I love while developing myself at the same time. If you’re thinking about it, my advice is simple: just do it!"
