Mark’s story
"I served in the Royal Navy for over 30 years, operating as a Commander Logistics Officer for the last eight years. I then joined Kuehne+Nagel in March 2021 and am currently a Commercial Bid Manager (Government).
"I was pleased to see Kuehne+Nagel’s commitment to supporting employee wellbeing, and to remaining an industry champion for sustainability and environmental issues. They value my experiences and contribution to the company; and thanks to the exceptional professional developmental support available, have enabled me to grow as an individual.
"My primary role is to create tender value propositions in order to win new and retain existing – mainly government – business. However, I’m also responsible for mentoring junior members of staff, creating processes and case studies, and contributing to issues such as Modern Slavery, Sustainability and Continuous Improvements.
"I would strongly encourage Service leavers to embrace life as a civilian as it will be just as fulfilling as your time in the Armed Forces. My top tips would be: grow your non-military network, be an active member of LinkedIn, spend loads of time on your CV and LinkedIn profile (possibly hundreds of hours), define what roles and industries you’re interested in working in, and be clear on your own self-worth.
"I would also remind you all to connect with and make the most of the CTP, as their support truly is invaluable."
