Jon studied BA (Honours) Business Economics at Sheffield Hallam and he now works as a consultant at Deloitte. 

What I do

“I’m a consultant at Deloitte, one of the world’s Big Four accounting firms. I advise clients on business trends, specialising in automotive procurement and supply chain.

How Hallam helped me

“My course gave me the knowledge to be able to speak confidently in business. I am able to advise our clients on business trends today largely because of the topics we covered on the course. 

“I received genuine automotive consulting experience on the course, working with McLaren on one of my modules. It was really interesting and absolutely perfect experience for the career I wanted.

“I cannot recommend doing a placement highly enough. On my course I spent a year at Jaguar Land Rover learning business skills — and earning money. As a result of the placement I received a place on Jaguar’s graduate scheme, before I got my current role at Deloitte.

“Working in a top accountancy firm is no longer Oxbridge only. When I applied for this role they wanted to see that I had strong knowledge of my topic area, excellent communication skills and good industry credentials. I got all these things at Sheffield Hallam, and that's why I got the job.”
