Youth can be seen by some companies as a barrier to progression, so I feel lucky to have never worked for an organisation like that and proud, as a result, to have recently been promoted to be GHE’s youngest ever lettings manager.

My first job as a seventeen-year-old was work experience at GHE. I must have done something right because they asked me to join them on a year-long apprenticeship programme after that, so I jumped at the chance. I loved the job and I was keen to learn as much as I could, soaking up all the wisdom my mentors had to share with me, no matter which department I was in that month. I started at the bottom, so I got to see how every part of the job worked, and years later I know this has made me a better consultant, seeing how every piece of the puzzle fits together to service our landlords and investors.
