I was just fresh out of university and I wasn’t sure what to do and I sat down with my dad and we said, WHSmith. Really well known brand. Everybody loves it and it’d be great for your career!
Ismail's journey at WHSmith
My journey first started in 2019 as a Store Manager and now I am the Area Manager for Northern Europe managing 5 countries. It's challenging but rewarding. Covid gave me the opportunity to develop my skills and push myself to excel as it was a particularly challenging time calling for more thinking on my feet especially when continuing to open more stores in a such a climate. My hard work was noticed and I was able to develop to become an area manager.
