Michael’s early aspirations to deliver milk came from a desire to get his working day over and done with before breakfast. But his ambition to be a solicitor and CTT’s collaborative work culture have made him a committed member of the team.

Michael’s had his sights set on a career in law ever since Sixth Form college. After completing various law qualifications, a friend suggested he contact CTT for the next step in his career journey.
