25 March 2024

Anna joined TLJ in January as a Business Administrator Apprentice and has already become an integral member of the team.

We caught up with Anna to see how she had found things so far at TLJ:

Tell us about your role and what you bring to TLJ?

As a Business Administrator Level 3 Apprentice my role is mainly to support the Accounts Manager and take Business Administrator duties like: booking hotels for the engineers, creating new customer account forms as well as booking and calculating holidays for staff. I'm a really organised person so that helps with the role as its a very busy department within TLJ.

What has your first month been like at TLJ?

It was great! Everyone is helpful and welcoming. It feels like a great place to work and be part of the team!

Most interesting TLJ fact learnt so far?

That TLJ is a is a rapidly growing business on a global level.

Proudest achievement in work and/or life?

When I look at my journey since I arrived in the UK I am proud of how far I have come, I had to start my life from scratch. I have undertaken various training courses and now this Apprenticeship since I arrived in the UK, all the time working hard to develop my skills. I also have a 15 year old teenager which is a whole separate achievement but just as, if not more important than my other personal achievements.

Favourite things to do on my day off?

I love hiking and to take trips away in the caravan with my family. I also love dancing, salsa dancing, kizomba and bachata, I try to go twice a week to get my dance fix.

What are you most looking forward to at TLJ in 2024?

I hope to get my Business Administrator qualification and build my confidence a little more. There is a lot to learn which makes it an interesting but challenging role. I also look forward to participating with the TLJ team in different charity activities like the “March march” walking challenge in support of Kidney Research UK.
