New Role For Rennie!

Rennie has successfully completed his Digital Marketing Apprenticeship with The HR Booth! 

Over the past 10 months, Rennie has been working through his portfolio and has completed a Diploma in Digital Marketing.  Not only that, Rennie has been working with us as a Digital Marketing Assistant and has produced some brilliant social media content across various platforms. 

But completing the apprenticeship is not the end!  Rennie has agreed to a permanent role at The HR Booth, in a newly created role of Brand and Business Development Associate, where he will continue to drive our social media content as well as take a proactive approach to business development. 

Alistair Booth, CEO commented, “I have enjoyed seeing Rennie progress with us this year and put his own stamp on our social media activities.  It was clear very early on that Rennie was a great addition to the team, and has settled in so well.  All the team enjoy working with Rennie and he is a key part of our team.  I have been proud to watch Rennie’s progress and I’m delighted he’s not only completed his apprenticeship but has also agreed to stay with us on a permanent basis, in this new role. 

I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Rennie in this new role and see what the future holds.  Well done Rennie!” 

Our new Brand and Business Development Associate, Rennie, commented, “I was delighted to accept this exciting & newly created role with The HR Booth. Ever since joining back in December of last year I’ve known this was the correct environment for me to continue my development. Combining my Digital Marketing Diploma with real-life experience was the perfect balance for me. 

Alistair & the rest of the team have supported my marketing plans & projects and I am excited to see what the future holds in my new role”. 

The HR Booth are passionate about creating opportunities and supporting young people, and Rennie’s recent apprenticeship is testament to this.
