Oliver Connolly

Being a sales assistant at Lyle & Scott has taught me how a large organisation is managed and run which has been a huge jump from my previous role. I enjoy speaking to my manager about how psychology plays a big role in customer retention. From starting in August I have recently been promoted to Keyholder giving me responsibility and a voice within the company.

In this job, I was able to improve my customer service skills along with the ability to communicate with customers. Golf is a big passion of mine and my family and to be able to have had a part time job in this industry was a true privilege and enjoyment. My teaching skills progressed as well as I was able to assist our Head Professional in coaching young juniors.

During my time in year 13, I had the opportunity to speak and work closely to the universal bank NatWest Group. The Leveraged Finance team was a particular interest to me as I enjoyed the way these financiers used debt to their advantage whilst keeping risk relatively low.
