• Degree: BA (Hons) Politics, MSc Management and Marketing

I joined the TTI Graduate Leadership Programme in December 2021 and have since been working with the industry leading professional tool brand Milwaukee. In my first year as a Field Marketing Executive (FME), I developed a multitude of skills through practical on the job training as well as in-depth external courses, including presentation, negotiation, and sales training days.

This role provided many opportunities for me across the UK, ranging from managing my own accounts across the North of England, to attending large national industry events to represent the brand.

This new role has presented me with many learning opportunities, and I enjoyed the greater responsibilities. I both managed and trained the team, as well as assisting National Account Managers in multiple channels in a variety of capacities.

Working for such an innovative and rapidly growing brand gives me a great sense of satisfaction. I am proud to work with a like minded and passionate team and look forward to my future with TTI.
