“When I first joined the KBS office, I felt nervous as I had never worked in a role like this before and was unsure of my next career step. From day one, however, I was made to feel welcome and received strong support from the academy team and my manager, Tom, who has played a significant role in my journey at KBS.
“Over my eighteen months here, I have worked under three excellent managers, each of whom has helped me develop in different ways and provided regular one-to-one feedback to support my progression.
“It is encouraging to see people who started at around the same time as me progress within the business, with some now managing their own teams. This clearly shows hard work and self-improvement are recognised and rewarded.
“KBS also offers a range of strong performance incentives, including trips to watch Manchester United, Christmas raffles, meals, and events such as summer race days. The commission structure is competitive and provides real motivation to perform at a high level.
“One thing that stands out is how well teams collaborate across all departments to achieve success. For those looking to grow both personally and professionally, the roles here help provide clarity around future career steps.
“You regularly speak with business owners who have been running companies for many years, discussing some of the most important decisions they will make. This has significantly improved my communication skills and ability to build strong client relationships.
“For anyone unsure about their next career move, as I once was, I would strongly recommend starting here and challenging yourself. It can play a key role in shaping your future direction.”
