My best experience at MPA so far…
For me one of the most important things is how supportive MPA are from a pastoral sense. I have young children and juggling work and home is a challenge but the unwavering support and flexibility that is here is invaluable.
Being a member of MPA Pulse has been a great experience as it has allowed me to work with people from across the business that I wouldn’t normally get to know and also dealing directly with the Board of Directors.
MPA offer industry placement positions every year and working with the students has been brilliant. They bring such a fresh perspective and challenge the way you do things. It’s a privilege to work alongside them and see them develop in knowledge and experience.

Play: I loved musical theatre and Matilda is the best thing I have seen in a long time. I also saw Only Fools & Horses recently and it was great fun.
