In The Limelight: George
“I am a strong advocate of work experience; I believe that it’s beneficial to anyone who decides to do it.”
In the Limelight today is Website Design & SEO Lead at Bristol Website Design, George!
Currently studying a Level 5 Operations Manager Apprenticeship with SS&L, George has proven that taking a chance on yourself can lead to a fulfilling career.
“I’ve been with Bristol Website Design since October 2023. Originally, I joined as work experience and started subcontracting for them the following March. At this time I was running my own agency, making websites for businesses in my local village. I was then asked to join Bristol Website Design as an employee.”
Work Experience Champion
From starting his career back in 2023, George now champions work experience across Somerset.
“I am a strong advocate of work experience; I believe that it’s beneficial to anyone who decides to do it,” he told us. “Personally, it has taught me how to manage deadlines, develop my professional relationships with co-workers & clients, and has generally changed my outlook on life for the better.”
Support & Encouragement
Not slowing down, George is now part-way through a Level 5 management apprenticeship. “I was not actively looking for development at the time,” he explains, “but have always been open to learning new things to support my professional development.”
“The additional training has help me to continually take on new responsibilities and tasks with confidence and clarity. The lessons in organisational culture particularly have helped me to understand why we do things in our organisation and how that links to bigger goals and targets, which in turn makes me feel more at home in my job.”
We’re incredibly proud of George and what he has been able to achieve so far, and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for him!
