Britannia Building Society, after securing a place on the Br5itannia Building Society graduate management programme I am now enjoying a management role in group communications. I love the variety that my job provides me with. Being part of a comms management team in such unprecedented financial times is exciting and hugely challenging.

I’m also gaining invaluable insights into agency work with companies such as Brunswick Group. I might venture into a PLC environment at some point in the future, it would be very different to my current environment.

I loved how approachable and motivating my lecturers and tutors were. They show a real passion that was passed on through their teaching. My journalism degree equipped me a raft of transferable skills that have served me well. Understanding media law and shorthand have both proved priceless!
