An email was sent around my history department at uni
What advice would you give for people who aspire to be where you are?
You’re not going to be put in a situation unless everyone knows you can handle it, so chill out and it’ll be fine, stressing about things definitely doesn’t make them easier

The people, everyone helps each other out - and we have some great nights out!
Proudest moment at Summit?
Going to a google Manchester event and seeing a lot of ex-summiteers who had gone on to work for other agencies or client-side. Not only was it great to see them, but it made me really proud of how much knowledge and how many skills we learn at Summit.
Worst moment at Summit?
Handing over clients to a new company is always pretty hard
What reasons would you give other people for joining?
Structured progression makes it a great opportunity
