Since joining Corus, one thing has become evident to me – the excellent scope and opportunity for personal, and career development. I have been involved in such diverse projects as analysis of key markets, developing strategic recommendations and management of the key messages going into our markets through Public Relations.

My current role is that of Brand Project Manager, which includes development of the Corus Colorcoat® brand as the mark of quality and expertise across the UK Construction Industry and Europe.

Training courses I have attended include; Safety courses, the Graduate Management Programme, Sales courses, product awareness briefings and Brand / Marketing courses all of which are focussed towards my role. I am also due to commence my MSc at Loughborough in Industrial Sales and Marketing in 2005.

In summary, the future for the company looks strong and it’s a really great place to start your career.
