Moving Offices – Nina’s Story
Moving offices tells Nina’s story, in her own words, of her successful time here at the hive. Nina started with us as our Customer Service apprentice from Weston College in 2022. During that time she became a valued member of the team and we wish her every success in the future!
My name is Nina, I first joined the hive in April 2022 as part of my placement for my Customer Service Apprenticeship.
The role
As an apprentice, my role was versatile. I had the opportunity to learn and contribute to various aspects of the business. From managing bookings and enquiries to coordinating events and ensuring smooth operations, each task helped me develop crucial professional skills.
Communication, organisation, and problem-solving became second nature, and the fast-paced environment fostered a sense of resilience and adaptability within me.
Fun times!
I had a lot of fun organising lots of different events whilst I was here! My favourite was hands down our Christmas get together for all our tenants. From designing the invitations and ordering the buffet to arranging a Christmas themed quiz – which ended up being very competitive!
Another opportunity I took was to run a 2-month campaign on our social media platforms. It celebrated Women in Business and how the hive participated in each of their journeys’ to success. It was really fun to do and also very rewarding!
Learning
I’ve attended several great training courses during my time here. One in particular, the 2-day Carbon Literacy training was very insightful. It’s made me determined to improve the way I work and the way I live my life outside of work.
I also attended a Carbon Literacy “Train the Trainer” course which has enabled me to acquire a qualification to train on the subject.
Reflecting
Reflecting on my time as an apprentice, I’m grateful for the invaluable learning and the incredible experiences gained both through the job and from the great team at the hive.
Moving on!
I’m also very happy to share that a new opportunity has risen for me, starting in a new position with one of our tenants. I’m moving offices just down the corridor as an Executive Sales Assistant. This next chapter is very exciting, but I will, for sure, be keeping in touch with the team at the hive.
