Hannah has been gaining valuable office experience with KR Group since July 2025 through our KRedit programme. She returns during school holidays to continue building her skills and developing her knowledge of the workplace. We caught up with Hannah to hear about what she’s learned so far, what she enjoys most, and her ambitions for the future.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your role at KR Group?

My name is Hannah Douglas and I am 15 years old. I am an S4 pupil at Kemnay Academy and am currently doing work experience in the office at KR Group. When in the office, I help with tasks such as sending emails, printing and filing and I also help with archiving, finance tasks and carry out market research for the company.

What made you want to do work experience with a construction and engineering company?

I wanted to do work experience with a construction and engineering company because my Dad works in the industry and I was interested in working in an office. It is also an industry I don’t know much about, so it is interesting to learn more about it. My Dad, Kev, is a Mechanic at KR Group so it’s interesting to learn about all the different aspects of the company.

What subjects do you enjoy at school?

At school, I enjoy Biology, Chemistry and Maths.

What is a task you enjoy doing in the office?

I enjoy filing and sending emails when I’m in the office and I like the variety of tasks I do to help the team.

Where do you see yourself in a few years – what kind of job would you like to have?

I would like to go to University to study Medicine or Medical Sciences.

What do you hope to learn throughout your time at KR Group?

I would like to continue to learn about the jobs you can do in an office and continue to develop skills that will benefit me in the future. For example, communication and teamwork.

We also spoke to Amy, Business and Finance Assistant at KR Group, who supervises Hannah. She shared:

“Hannah is a very hard-working addition to the KR Team. Her attention to detail has been excellent when carrying out tasks for the finance & marketing teams, and she has made connections with our suppliers when sending out monthly remittances. Hannah has also built on her personable skills while working at the reception desk as the first point of call for our clients. We really value the quality of work that Hannah has been carrying out for us and how she gets involved with each new task given to her.“
