What were you doing before McClarrons?

Prior to McClarrons, I recently graduated with a 1st class degree in Business Finance Management from Northumbria University.

What initially attracted you to McClarrons?

The main attractions to joining McClarrons was that it is a friendly, family run business and I was aware of the fantastic growth and development opportunities the company has for its staff.

My favourite moments so far have been learning about the different opportunities McClarrons has, including McClarrons Sport. Developing new relationships with colleagues and the sociable events, including the races!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?

In 5 years’ time I see myself assisting Account Executives handle the client journey, doing further studying to gain qualifications and getting involved in other areas of the company and different projects that are of interest to me.
