I joined Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) with a focus on Early Careers, with my previous experience working primarily within recruitment where I’d help the businesses I worked for hire people for a wide variety of job roles.

My career initially started with an apprenticeship, working for a local small business which gave me the confidence and skills to succeed in both that and subsequent roles. I’m passionate about apprenticeship schemes and the value they can offer to people starting their career due to my own journey.

I’m enthusiastic about working with young people and adding value to their recruitment journey at KCS.
