I would describe WHSmith as inclusive, this is really important to me, being a French person and with Vietnamese heritage. Since I joined the company, really, I’ve always felt included
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.
