1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I completed the level 2 and 3 retail apprenticeships with Superdrug, I have to say it has been the most rewarding and positive experience that I have had in a working environment… everything from monthly catchup sessions with my mentor Mel / helping me get out of my comfort zone. It has really helped me grow as a person professionally and personally… Thankyou Superdrug!

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

Through my lv3 apprenticeship I was involved with weekly conferences with the area around me and got to learn from other managers and how they all do things differently. My level 3 definitely exposed me to all walks of life and it has helped me become a better, more well rounded manager.
