“I joined MCFT in 2016 as an Intern while in my third year studying at Hanze University in Groningen. It was an exciting time to join the team: I learned a lot about Sales, Operations and Finance in a practical way... After I graduated, I returned to MCFT as part of the Graduate Programme, which led me to my current position as C.O.O at ORCA Service Technologies.“

“I joined as a summer Intern, thinking that it would be just that. However, I was given a lot of responsibility that summer and ultimately asked to go to Dubai with Chris, the CEO, to support the business over there whilst the management team were taking a well deserved break. Following the trip Chris offered me the opportunity to come back as a graduate after I finished university which I gladly accepted.“
