Coutts Bank and Jo Loves!

‘On Friday, 9 November, myself and 10 other business students were lucky enough to have been selected to go up to London to visit Coutts Bank and Jo Malone at her shop, Jo Loves. None of us knew what to expect but had such an amazing day! At Coutts Bank we were given a tour and a flavour of the history of the bank, then we were given presentations from two graduates who are currently taking part in the Coutts Graduate Scheme - Dominic and Anna. They shared with us their experiences, in particular telling us how their jobs vary so much day to day and they were able to tailor their scheme of work to suit their interests. For example, they could have chosen Wealth Management or Private Banking. They also gave us an insight about their open days and internships which I hope to participate in, in the future. Meeting Jo Malone was such an inspiring experience. She spoke passionately about her brand and being an entrepreneur, highlighting that we can do anything that we put our minds to. We enjoyed making one of her ‘Shot Candles’, selecting our own fragrances – I chose ‘salted caramel’ and ‘paperwhites’. Her enthusiastic staff also shared with us some of her other products in a ‘Tasting Tapas’ experience. We explored her body lotions and perfumes in a way which was really engaging. We are all very grateful to Jo for taking time out of her very busy schedule and to Coutts Bank for making us feel so welcome! Thank you to Mrs Marshall for organising such a wonderful trip.’
