Melissa - 23

Melissa assumed she'd need to leave Plymouth post-graduation.

What changed her mind?

A role at family-owned JGBM that not only matched other offers but crucially provided the work/life balance she valued.

Now thriving as a Marketing Manager, Melissa enjoys the learning opportunities from being office-based (with hybrid flexibility) and believes that for young professionals it's not just experience but the work ethic and the willingness to learn that will make you stand out.
