SUMMER 2021

TECHNOLOGY
" I'm always being presented
with new and interesting
challenges - I genuinely feel
I have something new to take
away at the end of every day.
The experience has been overwhelmingly positive through
what has been a troubling time for everyone, and the way
we've all supported each other has been incredible.
" My quality of life has certainly improved since being at
Sykes and it has served as a rock through the pandemic.
I've had the opportunity to develop new relationships with
my colleagues and make associations I'm sure will help me
both with my career and my development as a person. "
Owen
MARKETING
" I joined Sykes after graduating
from the University of Derby
with a 2.1 in journalism. During
my degree I'd realised I didn't
want to be a journalist but
I wasn't sure what area I wanted to go into. I got the call
about Sykes one morning and couldn't miss the opportunity!
" I'm very proud to work here. There's an obvious vision
for the future, and it's clear to see that the employees
know their role within it. There are very few companies
that treat their staff anywhere near as well as Sykes does
- our wellbeing is at the forefront of everything they
do. The outstanding results in recent years say it all. "

Leah
MARKETING
" I've loved my journey at Menai
Holidays - it's been challenging
but also very rewarding. I
started in sales and when Menai
Holidays became a part of the
Sykes family, my role was to focus on owner relations. It's
great to build that relationship with owners - I think it's
a really important part of the service we offer as a local
company, to get to know them as well as their properties.
" I've learned so many life lessons and skills: teamwork,
communication, problem solving and the ability to work
under pressure. I think I learn a new skill every day! "
" I've gone from being temp
to a permanent contract in
finance to working in marketing.
I feel as there are so many
different departments at
Sykes, there will always be somewhere to progress to!
" The people are definitely my favourite thing about
working here - everyone seems to be lovely and my team
especially are great to work with. I used to prefer working
solo, but since I've come to work at Sykes I have definitely
learned how work in a team better, and how to share
certain tasks and come up with solutions together. "
Marti
PROPERTY RECRUITMENT
Chloe
FINANCE
" Sykes is the best place I've
worked. Every day is different
and there are always fun
activities taking place. Everyone
is continuously supported
and rewarded. There are many things that are great about
working with Sykes, but my favourite must be the people.
Everyone I work with and who I've met along the way
is so friendly, it's like going to work with your family.
" My career has already progressed massively. I've had
the opportunity to move teams and further develop my
skills. I've also taken part in many classes, allowing me
to improve my abilities and learn many new skills. "
" Sykes has been great and I
have been fortunate enough
to be supported by them
both internally and with my
external studies. I'm currently
studying towards my accountancy qualification and I enjoy
being able to apply my knowledge to tasks at work.
" I was been lucky enough to be a part of the VIBE team
pre-Covid, listening to concerns that affect the company,
finding ways we could resolve them and achieving goals
such as raising funds for our chosen charity of the year. "
