The chance to work with such an historic, instantly recognisable brand is one I couldn't pass up! As the brand grows, I'm growing with it - it's bringing out my best qualities!
It’s incredible to join a company with over 230 years of legacy and to see them operate as agile and sprightly as WHSmith does. The Careers and Development team at WHSmith has left no stone unturned in designing the Graduate programme. They’ve helped us interact with top-level executives and board members to gain a glimpse of where our business is heading in terms of expansion and growth.
From having us work in stores to learn the day-to-day operations of running a store and to build on our customer insights. To having us work with in different departments to broaden our perspective of the different levels and functions involved in running a retail business. Though it’s been just over 2 months of joining the business, the very hands-on induction program, coupled with the warm and welcoming atmosphere of everyone here, has made me feel right at home.
