Fathia Abiola-Ajishafe, Field Sales Apprentice
“I’m currently a first year Field Sales Apprentice at CCEP. My current job role is the sales merchandiser role, in which my responsibilities are driving product visibility, maximising sales, building promotional displays, and building strong relationships with customers within the grocery channel.
At the beginning of sixth form, I had no clue about apprenticeships, and I was quite set on going to university the traditional way.. In fact, I had completed the whole UCAS application. However, my two biggest cons of the traditional route were the debt, and lack of experience. Fortunately, one of my teachers introduced me to degree apprenticeships, and I quickly grew to love the concept! Due to this, I was able to research and explore degree apprenticeships, apply, and obtain my current role.
Despite only being an apprentice for a few months at CCEP, I can say that this job has already helped me develop and strengthen my skills to help during and after my apprenticeship. This apprenticeship has also provided so many memorable opportunities, and I cannot wait to see what the next few years at CCEP has in store for me.”
Samina's story
Three and a half years after leaving university, Samina was approached by CCEP who asked if she’d like to join our Commercial Finance team as an Analyst. In roughly 10 years here, she’s seen the proof in our promise to promote more female business leaders. We’ve supported Samina in becoming a fully qualified accountant and she’s quickly progressed to Associate Director level – all while achieving the perfect work-life balance as a mother to her child.
“As an Associate Director, I manage a team of seven people – comprising Senior Managers, Managers and Analysts. I feel empowered to make an impact on the business and also the employees that I manage and interact with. Seeing the results of coaching team members, watching them succeed in developing their careers and ensuring they have the best prospects is really rewarding. However, when I was relatively new into my role, I learned I was pregnant. I was initially skeptical as to how to break the news. However, after I discussed this with my then line manager I felt much more comfortable. CCEP promote flexible working, so I was always made to feel comfortable with adjusting my hours if I needed to attend medical appointments. Once on maternity leave, I was able to use CCEP’s ‘keep in touch’ days to help me stay up to date with the team.”
