Angela Leeding, Realise Performance Manager
Training & development officer
I started my career as a management trainee in retail, so I know what it is like to work and do a qualification at the same time.
At the end of my training programme, I progressed from supervisor right through to senior management level. This progression has meant I have learnt and developed a great portfolio of business skills; customer service, business administration, retail and management. I chose to move into apprenticeships in 2007 because I wanted to share my industry knowledge and skills to help develop and support others just starting out in their careers or progressing in their workplace.
I returned back to the retail industry in 2016 as an operations manager to further enhance and enrich my skills and knowledge.
FAQs
