What are you most looking forward to working on during your time at Manchester FA?

During my placement at Manchester FA, I'm looking forward to working on a number of projects, which will enhance the digital media and communications arm of the company. 

Increasing the profile and the brand within the local grassroots community is a priority of mine, and I feel it can be achieved through our digital, online and video presence. 

What do you hope to gain from your time at Manchester FA?

Ideally, I want to further myself both professionally and personally during the placement. 

I feel that the opportunity presented to me is exciting and developing my outlook on my chosen industry. 

Manchester FA will give me valuable experience to develop myself in the communications market and working for an FA brand will look great on my CV! I can't wait to get started. 

Everyone here at Manchester FA would like to wish Ben the best of luck during his time with us.
