00:00:08:00 – 00:00:09:20
My name is Tamzin and I’m a

00:00:09:20 – 00:00:14:01
business development executive at Lucozade Ribena Suntory.

00:00:14:01 – 00:00:16:11
And I look after the northwest London area.

00:00:16:11 – 00:00:21:05
My role involves managing relationships in wholesale

00:00:21:05 – 00:00:24:11
accounts, convenience accounts and food service accounts.

00:00:24:11 – 00:00:29:14
So that could be anything from universities, colleges, cafes

00:00:29:14 – 00:00:31:17
and then obviously the wholesale side to it as well.

00:00:33:04 – 00:00:36:10
What I have to do is sort of by managing relationships, I sort of

00:00:36:20 – 00:00:40:13
make sure that we’ve got enough range in the actual store

00:00:40:21 – 00:00:44:09
and have enough space and fixture.

00:00:44:09 – 00:00:46:06
I really enjoy like speaking to people

00:00:46:06 – 00:00:48:06
so it’s nice that I can get out.

00:00:48:06 – 00:00:51:11
It’s not an office job, so I’m always out and about

00:00:51:19 – 00:00:54:22
traveling around London, going to see different customers, which is nice.

00:00:55:16 – 00:00:56:22
So every day is kind of different.

00:00:58:07 – 00:01:00:24
At GCSE, I did business,

00:01:01:20 – 00:01:04:00
obviously your standard ones,

00:01:04:00 – 00:01:07:00
health and social care and geography.

00:01:07:00 – 00:01:09:10
But for what I did for my A-levels was

00:01:10:18 – 00:01:12:24
health and social care, but it counted as three A-levels

00:01:13:12 – 00:01:15:16
so I did that as just one subject.

00:01:16:01 – 00:01:18:05
So I didn’t think business would be that useful

00:01:19:00 – 00:01:22:21
but actually now in my job I feel like I use a lot of that from

00:01:22:24 – 00:01:26:02
what I learned at school into my apprenticeship.

00:01:26:03 – 00:01:29:11
A lot of my friends were going to uni and I wasn’t really that keen

00:01:29:15 – 00:01:32:16
– I didn’t really have a specific subject I wanted to take.

00:01:32:23 – 00:01:36:03
So I sort of went
down the apprenticeship route.

00:01:37:20 – 00:01:41:06
I applied on a website called Rate my Apprenticeship

00:01:42:07 – 00:01:44:18
and it was branded as like Suntory

00:01:44:23 – 00:01:48:16
and I didn’t know that Lucozade was part of Suntory.

00:01:48:24 – 00:01:51:21
So that was quite interesting when I actually read the job description.

00:01:52:12 – 00:01:55:06
And then I thought that sounded really interesting.

00:01:55:06 – 00:01:59:21
So I applied to that and the interview process was

00:01:59:21 – 00:02:03:17
give a presentation and it sort of like met with the business culture

00:02:03:17 – 00:02:06:16
and that’s how I
got the job.

00:02:06:22 – 00:02:08:11
I had a Saturday job at school.

00:02:08:11 – 00:02:11:09
I worked in a soft play

00:02:11:11 – 00:02:15:22
so I was responsible for just checking the kids in

00:02:15:22 – 00:02:18:16
and then on the cafe as well, and then cleaning it.

00:02:19:15 – 00:02:20:12
And then I

00:02:20:12 – 00:02:24:05
worked as well at a cinema, Everyman cinema.

00:02:24:05 – 00:02:27:00
So I was doing just the waitressing job there.

00:02:27:00 – 00:02:30:20
So I feel like that’s where I got my customer skills.

00:02:31:14 – 00:02:34:08
I didn’t really know what I wanted to do

00:02:34:08 – 00:02:37:15
when I was at school, I was asking my parents, ‘I don’t know what to do,’ but

00:02:38:16 – 00:02:42:10
I think now I’m in the company you see so many job roles

00:02:42:10 – 00:02:45:24
that you don’t even know of or heard of – I hadn’t even heard of my job.

00:02:45:24 – 00:02:48:04
I didn’t even know it would be a thing.

00:02:48:04 – 00:02:50:20
And now I see loads of other people from different companies

00:02:50:20 – 00:02:51:20
doing the same role as me

00:02:51:20 – 00:02:53:24
so it’s really nice to see actually.

00:02:55:11 – 00:02:58:01
I would say to just work hard.

00:02:58:01 – 00:03:00:06
I think even if you

00:03:00:06 – 00:03:03:08
don’t find yourself passing all your exams and stuff at school,

00:03:03:08 – 00:03:03:20
I think

00:03:04:21 – 00:03:05:17
it doesn’t matter.

00:03:05:17 – 00:03:08:04
I think as long as you’ve got

00:03:08:04 – 00:03:11:14
ambition to try and improve yourself, I think that’s the main thing.

00:00:08:00 – 00:00:09:20
My name is Tamzin and I’m a

00:00:09:20 – 00:00:14:01
