After a short stay, she was invited to join the grad scheme and then spent the next 15 years working her way up the organisation to become the Director of Customer Services. In this interview with Vanessa Vallely OBE, Ceri shares some amazing insights into her career which includes a six-year break to spend time with her daughter.
