Are you looking for career inspiration or hoping to build your confidence before you start applying for jobs? Well, we have invited some brave and successful people to chat honestly about their career and help inspire you.
Introducing Commercial Director, A.G. Barr, Jonathon Kemp …
Jonathan joined the Board of AG Barr plc in 2003 having started his career in "FMCG - Fast Moving Consumer Goods" at Procter & Gamble some 12 years earlier. Prior to this he studied Economics at the University of Liverpool, served in the Royal Navy Reserve, and spent a year at the House of Commons as a Research Assistant.
He leads the team at Barr Soft Drinks that are responsible for the customer management, commercial management, innovation and marketing of brands such as Rubicon, Barr, Strathmore and of course IRN-BRU - and is responsible as a board member for the governance and strategic direction of the overall business. He describes his day job as "long term brand and long term people building" - driving growth in both the business and the organisation - and the best job in Scotland!
Jonathan also serves on a voluntary basis as the chair of Glasgow Riderz - Scotland's largest youth cycling club and as Non-Executive Director of Scottish Cricket.
This event is open to any UofG student and is your opportunity to hear about different career paths in a comfortable and casual environment. All you need to do is log in from home, prepare your questions and get ready to have an interesting conversation with our brave speaker.
