I oversee 14 London centric contracts and deal with a number of senior front and back of house managers and clients. I am also responsible for sales bids and pitches from labour structures, kitchen designs and menus to mobilizing the site should we be awarded the contract.
Firstly, it has provided me with a holistic understanding of business principles by combining theoretical learning with the hands-on experience. This unique blend allows me to grasp complex concepts more effectively and apply them directly to real-world situations. Moreover, the apprenticeship aspect of the program has enabled me to work closely with seasoned professionals within the wider Compass business, and I have been well supported on my MBA journey by a colleague that has already completed the course and has offered me invaluable mentorship.
Overall, my journey through an apprenticeship MBA has been transformative, equipping me with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in the dynamic world of business. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The programme was very well structured allowing a good and solid pace of modules through out with all necessary support given.
I had multiple streams of support from my employer as well as other senior leaders within the business that had been through a similar course.
The training provider has been excellent, supporting me at every step of the apprenticeship with access to regular online face to face calls. There has also been an abundance of online materials.
As stated previously it has provided me with a holistic understanding of business principles by combining theoretical learning with the hands-on experience. This unique blend allows me to grasp complex concepts more effectively and apply them directly to real-world situations.
We have regular supplier visits, leadership team meet ups, weekly socials and are actively encouraged to attend quarterly forums.
