I can remember seeing an advert for a Sales Consultant role at Whitegates Bradford in 2010, I so wanted that job. I was only 16 at the time, so I completed the application but didn’t hand it in until I was 17 where I thought I would appear much more mature..!! I was interviewed, but I didn’t get the job. Instead, I was told that they may be willing to look at an apprenticeship for me, but I had to investigate the schemes available and come back with the details if it was something I wanted to do. I did, and I did..! And I was offered an apprenticeship..! Since then I have progressed with the Company, to become a Sales and Lettings Executive and one of the senior members of the team with over 12 years’ experience. I got married in 2016 and I have left Whitegates twice briefly on maternity leave after the births of my two children. But I’m back now in a part time role within the very busy Lettings department.
