Generation Logistics case study: Kailan Patel, Finance Apprentice, St Modwen

Kailan, a Finance Apprentice at St Modwen, is a great example of the latter. All his role requires is an accountancy and taxation qualification. The rest is learning on the job, becoming exposed to real business and real opportunities to progress outside of a purely academic setting. 

The spark of interest, for Kailan, came whilst studying at university. “I was asked to research the role of the supply chain, which exposed me to understanding the importance logistics has in business.” 

Learning on the job has its benefits, too. “My favourite aspect? I love that every day presents me with different challenges. It means I’ve had an opportunity to gain an understanding of the industry, and to widen my knowledge and skills by not limiting it to purely accounting practices.” 

A role with variety, the opportunity to progress and the chance to gain experience of real-world business. Who could argue with that kind of career path?
