Year ONE - Meet Molly

Hey! I am Molly. I am 19 years old, and I have recently joined the WRG Year ONE internship program.

Life before WRG… In September 2021, I went to Manchester University to study Events Management for about 3 months. I gradually realised that way of learning was not for me. However, I did not give up there. I feel like university was a useful experience where I gained a lot of skills, such as time management. Even though I did not want to continue, I still came away knowing I want to keep following my passion for events!

Over the last year I’ve had a few different jobs, some office based and some venue based. Trying these different jobs, none felt like the right fit for me, which left me feeling lost. I heard about Year ONE via my Dad, who has worked with WRG many times before as a self-employed sound engineer. He only had positive things to say about WRG, so I was keen to find out more. I thought the opportunities offered as part of Year ONE were fascinating, such as the chance to travel internationally and see how the whole agency works together. As soon as I learnt all this, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I was excited to be able to take the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the past year to my role at WRG and I could not wait to learn more.

I am starting my internship as part of the Healthcare Logistics team, where I will be learning the role of Delegate Manager. This will be for four months and I will then spend time in the other departments: Environments and Event Production.

As I write this, all I can say is what an incredible company! Everyone has been so welcoming and helpful. One thing I love about this job already is that it allows you to work as a team, but also individually, giving you that independence to challenge yourself which is exactly what I was looking for. I am constantly looking to improve and push myself to do new things. The Year ONE programme offers exactly that! I see each day as an opportunity to meet new people and create something special.
In WRG style I had to introduce myself to the business with three fun facts…

• I have an A Level in Photography and I love to take pictures in my spare time- especially Alternative Landscapes
• I love to dance and am always dancing or listening to music!
• I have a dog called Bella, who is my pride and joy
