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!

Sarah's journey at WHSmith
“My career journey has been surprising, exciting, varied and full of opportunity- working with some amazing people throughout. I would never have believed when I started as a Store Manager, I would be carrying out the role I do today.
I never stop learning, developing- even more so now having an international focus to my role and I get to add value to a growing and evolving business, every day.”
