What is life like at Churchill Group for career changers?
“I trained as a triple jumper and competed internationally for Great Britain until 2015, while predominantly working in FM at the same time. Juggling the two roles was challenging but always exciting and the skills were transferable. My sporting competitiveness drove me to always do well at work.”
Nadia Williams
“I first joined Churchill as a trainee water hygiene engineer. Making the switch from working in retail, I needed a career which enabled me to work flexibly and look after the children more whilst my wife pursued her dream of becoming a nurse. Churchill has enabled me to become a plumber and has always given me a pathway to progression.”
Andy Johnson
“I spent just over a decade serving as a Movements Controller. Having decided to ground myself in 2006, I wanted to find an alternative career choice. I was looking for a role with operational challenges, where no two days are the same and something with a focus on people and the environment…Cue facilities management.”
