Case Studies

Name: Greg Parkes
Role: Franchise Estates Manager
Joined: October 2005

Having studied an MSc in Criminology at Loughborough University and gained two years experience as a Project Manager I decided that I was ready to focus my career upon an area I found more interesting. Having decided that Property and more specifically Asset Management was the career for me, the next and most important step I needed to take was of course to find the right company. Upon meeting the Mitchells & Butlers HR team it was clear that the organisation offered exactly what I was looking for; I could undertake 2 years of training whilst covering ‘real job roles’ with significant responsibility. Furthermore, the organisation was also prepared to fund my attendance on an RICS accredited part time degree. Since joining I have worked in numerous areas, including being a member of the Estate Management Team and covering the role of North-west Acquisitions Manager. At the end of 18 months on the graduate scheme, I was successful in securing my current role. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far with the organisation and feel that I have been given a great opportunity to gain valuable experience and training within an organisation and industry that is both dynamic and interesting.
