Toby
After doing a number of months of work experience at Charles & Dean it was a great opportunity to be able to progress into a role that allowed me to better my knowledge within the asset finance sector more permanently. In turn after a number of months in the academy I was able to progress further into a commercial Sales Development role. The academy helped cement my early knowledge and I look forward to learning more within the company.

After working in the motor industry for a few years, the C&D Academy has allowed me to amplify my asset finance knowledge. I have gained industry qualifications alongside working day to day within all departments of the business. Due to the fact you get to experience all sectors of the business, it creates a better foundation for wherever you decide to continue within C&D. I look forward to continuing my learning at Charles & Dean!

Connor
Charles & Dean offers an immense amount of opportunity and experience to anyone who is trying to step foot in the finance industry. Finance was not my initial career plan as I finished university with a psychology degree. The academy program creates the opportunity for newcomers like myself, a full experience of training in Motor and Commercial finance along with Operations as well. Acquiring industry qualifications is one of many perks which Charles & Dean can offer to anyone who is keen for success. If you think you're up for the challenge I couldn't recommend a better company to join!
