Scottish Apprenticeship Week and Kenny

March 9, 2022

Kenny Barr joined Ten Live as an apprentice almost a year ago and proved himself an asset early on. He is now Ten Live’s Operations Administrator and resident funny man. We asked him a few questions about his career and life at Ten Live, since joining and why he chooses to stay.

Summing up his experience at Ten Live (very succinctly), Kenny describes it as accuracy, banter and biscuits. We couldn’t have put it better ourselves, Kenny.

Here’s what he had to say

1. Why did you choose to join Ten Live or what attracted you to join Ten Live?

I chose Ten live because since I started my job it has been professional and my workmates have welcomed me in and made my job easier to learn and practise.

2. What’s the best part of your job?

The best part of my job is finishing weekly payroll on a Wednesday.

3. Why do you choose to stay at Ten Live?

I have chose to stay because it’s a good environment and everyone is on the same side to help you through.

4. Are there any benefits that you really value and why?

Benefits of my job are Fat Fridays which is getting a free lunch at the end of the month.

“We are invested in supporting apprenticeships thrive here at Ten Live. We have recruited 3 apprentices who, early on, demonstrated their significant value to our business. I am thrilled to say they are all permanent members of our growing team and we hope to see them build their career within our business”.

5. What motivates you at Ten Live?

My motivation to do well during the week is to have no queries on a Friday and complete my job.
