Lauren pursued an IT BTEC course in college before furthering her studies in IT multimedia at Liverpool John Moores University. Her passion for IT led her to take additional courses even after school hours. Joining the Dine IT graduate program in 2015, Lauren progressed from an IT support analyst in 2016 to an IT supervisor in 2022.
Lauren enjoys tackling challenges, delving into problems, and has recently taken on leadership roles in multiple IT projects and rollouts: "Dine had provided amazing support in terms of aiding my skill development and knowledge expansion throughout my career. I really enjoy the diverse range of IT areas I engage with, which has enhanced my expertise and boosted my confidence. The collaborative team spirit at Dine is amazing - regardless of department or role, everyone works together seamlessly and are always ready to help. There are many training courses available to enhance skills and personal growth. Having been with the company for 9 years, I genuinely look forward to work every day. Each day presents new challenges that continue my learning and makes me feel accomplished."
Michael kicked off his impressive career by being the first ever person to enrol on the Dine graduate program in 2013. This opportunity enabled him to gain diverse experience by rotating through various departments, paving the way for his career in operations as an area manager following the end of the 2-year program. Driven by his sales passion, Michael moved into a Business Development Manager role and steadily progressed to his current position as Business Development Director.
Michael thrives in the variation of his sales role and loves working across the broad aspects of the business: “What I love most about my role is the opportunity to drive meaningful improvements for our clients by working collaboratively and prioritizing their needs - putting them at the centre of our operations. Dine is an excellent workplace due to the incredible individuals here and the team's dedication. We are committed to nurturing talent within the company and offering the essential support for career progression.”
