I was a customer advisor when I first started my apprenticeship course and through this course i was promoted to showroom trading manager where i have been going from strength to strength with increased sales and fantastic personal growth.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

Most of my spare time goes into my dancing so I'm unaware of anything extra

I have been with B&Q for over 10 years and I am yet to regret my decision about joining the company. we have great benefits to working here and no 2 days are the same. this company makes you feel like you are working with your family.
