Frankie Mutanda AIEP, Employment Advisor at Reed In Partnership

What were you doing 12 years ago?

12 years ago I was in high school and just finishing off my stint as a member of the Bradford Boys youth choir.

What are you doing now?

I am an Employment Advisor. Having entered the company as an Administrator initially, my managers felt that my skill set was far too good to just remain in that role and elected to promote me to this current role within two weeks of working for the company. I am also a musician in the form of singing and rapping and have done shows with some notable celebrities in the past. I remain passionate about this as my uncle was a relatively famous musician in Zimbabwe in the nineties.

What have you learned along the way?

Hard work pays off and you have to see it within yourself to believe it. You are only going to rise as high as you allow yourself to think.
