Q: Has your career progressed in this role?

A: At the moment I’m busy focusing on my studies and balancing my goals and prospects, so I haven’t considered moving up a step in my roles at M&B. I do, however, know that there is a wide range of training and development opportunities open to me should I want to progress!

Q: What’s the best thing about working at M&B and our university transfer opportunities?

A: The best thing for me is that the hours are flexible, the pay is good, and I get to work with friends and diverse team members. The uni transfer scheme is very useful and really well organised!

Q: How did you find out about transferring to another business and how did you arrange it?

A: My friend at the Dun Cow mentioned it when she went to uni. So, I asked my boss if a transfer to Miller and Carter in Worcester was possible – and just like that, everything else was arranged for me!
