Initially I was employed at Ridley and Hall on a one month rolling contract to fulfil a specific role merging Ludgate Morrell’s Will’s on to Ridley and Hall’s Database.

This turned out to be a successful project for me and Ridley and Hall offered me the chance to partake in a series of apprenticeships at the National Business College, where I later went on to complete apprenticeships in Business Admin Level 2 and 3 and then eventually Customer Service Level 3.

This gave me a good understanding of the business sector, but I had always had a keen eye on IT work. During an appraisal I asked the question to Ridley and Hall as to whether I could shadow the IT guy at the time, which Ridley and Hall agreed was a good progression route for myself.
12 months on Tracey Armitage, Operations & HR Manager, proposed I complete an Infrastructure Technician course at Estio Training Centre in Leeds to further develop my knowledge and skills in IT.

I am grateful for the support and patience Ridley and Hall have offered during the 8 years I have worked here.

The Solicitor Apprenticeship Scheme is an appealing route to become a solicitor because I am able to learn on the job as well as in the classroom. Ridley and Hall are a supportive firm who have their employees best interests at heart, encouraging them to strive to the best of their potential without having to go down the traditional route. I am looking forward to gaining experience on the job whilst learning the ins and outs of different areas of law at university.
