HEAR from the APPRENTICES...

I was working in a restaurant for many years when I decided I wanted something more challenging. That’s when I saw an advertisement for the Apprenticeship Scheme outside MSO when I was out for a walk. Being from the area this enabled me work within my own local community. Once I found out that I had been successful in gaining a position within the Company’s Apprenticeship Scheme I was put through a thorough induction process. This allowed me to gain a better understanding of what exactly MSO does and sets out to achieve for their customers. I instantly clicked with my new team in Customer Services which made the transition from working in a restaurant to an office that much easier. The support from the team has really made my experience. It has also had a positive impact on my training as I now have a customer account of my own to manage.

The work life / balance here at MSO is fantastic, especially for me coming from the hospitality industry. Along with the people and possibility for advancement this is a major factor in keeping me motivated.

I am looking forward to developing a career within MSO. My position provides a challenging and varied workload that will allow me to make the very most of my strengths in customer service and administration and will additionally provide ongoing personal and professional development.

Customer Services - Former Apprentice now Team Member

I joined MSO in 2019 through their Apprenticeship Scheme after leaving college and looking for a new full time job. My first role was in the Quality Department checking production jobs met the customers standards. After 6 months I moved to the Labels Department to begin training as a printer. The team made it really easy to settle in and they gave me a lot of support which made the training so much easier. Recently, I had the opportunity to further my career by moving again this time to the Litho department where I am currently training as a Litho Printer. The opportunities I have been given to further myself and earn the relevant qualifications through college has been greatly appreciated.
