Bernie Holt

I am passionate about maths and economics. I enjoy finding out about companies and entrepreneurs and how their businesses operate. I would thrive in this environment whether it be in data analytics, audit, wealth management, investment or compliance. 

I am an independent, enthusiastic, confident, conscientious person and I would enjoy working individually or part of a team. I am a quick learner and have a strong desire to learn new skills. I would accept any challenges presented to me and endeavour to deliver the best results possible. 

I enjoy seeing a project through from beginning to end and being involved in the whole process.

I am a strong team player and can work well independently. This is evidenced in my sporting experience in tennis and football. I have learned to adapt to different situations through the varying playstyles and strategies presented by opponents. 

I also have a calm, level headed personality that works well under stress and pressure.

I believe an apprenticeship is the best way forward for me as I will gain invaluable work experience in the industry that I want to pursue whilst gaining a recognised qualification at the same time.

I have a keen interest in the value of stocks and shares, as well as the crypto currency markets, especially learning the factors that affect the prices of both. I have invested in a global growth fund that only invests in companies that make a positive impact on the world. I would like to continue learning about financial markets and studying economic trends. I also enjoy learning about business and entrepreneurs and how they operate.
