Hear Keir Howlett’s Story

Having started with WHSmith as a Christmas shelf filler, I did not expect to still be with the business post-degree. I had always been aspirational in wanting to progress and I was keen to broaden my skill set, working across multiple divisions within WHSmith fulfilled that vision for me. 

At every step along the way I had some great supporters, be that my line manager or key stakeholders.

The opportunities within a business the size of WHSmith are as broad as you want them to be, and I’m still excited by the expansion of the business and future potential opportunities that it may present.
