The BIG Partnership appointed University of Liverpool Business Studies graduate Laurence Laidler a their very own office, while securing English Language graduate Aaron Hand a three-month internship.

Sharon Mars, managing director of The BIG Partnership in Liverpool, said:

“Our business has grown considerably in the last few months making recruitment of high quality, ambitious employees a priority.

Laurence said:

“Securing work after university is a daunting task and I’m grateful for the support from Graduate to Merseyside. I have already learned and experienced a great deal about the industry in the short time I’ve been at The BIG Partnership and I’m hugely excited about my future with the company.”

“Our 500th graduate placed is a result of the excellent work the team has done building this service and its reputation.”
