In 2023 Brad completed his apprenticeship;
"Zenopa was the best transfer from Sixth Form I could have ever chosen. Gaining a university degree and 3+ years of work experience gives me a head start compared to those from university who only understand the theoretical aspect. A great benefit of working on the Zenopa marketing team is that you will gain exposure to many marketing tasks, which is excellent for building your CV and providing significant marketing experience."
