    Lucy

    Assistant Buyer, Boys Jersey

    The training scheme was amazing. The amount of training that's been offered, from the team but also one-to-one training courses, is just brilliant.

    Eve

    Logistics Management Graduate, Total Platform

    I know I can go to someone with an idea and almost always be told to go ahead and try it. I didn't expect that. They've taken us on and let us find our own niche.

    Duwaharan

    Assistant Buyer, Heels, Flats & Sports

    I think anyone who wants to do a career change, especially after graduating, should just go for it. Someone will hold that door open for you, and you'll flourish.

    There's lots of opportunities here. You'll perform for yourself but also the wider business as well. It's really dynamic and it's already given me so many transferable skills.
