Ellis Besford – ASDA

Hi, I’m Ellis and I’ve just started as a Supply Chain Degree Apprentice with Asda Logistics. I’ll be starting my first placement at the Washington ADC depot.

I live in Darlington, where I attended Queen Elizabeth 6th form studying Economics, Geography and History. After college I moved onto to work in accounts receivable for almost two years before finding this opportunity at Asda, which seemed the perfect fit for me, as it allows me to gain real world supply chain experience, while providing the chance to earn a degree at the same time.

Outside of work I keep myself active playing cricket, football and some golf, as well as running to keep myself fit.

I’m a keen problem solver and would describe myself as a highly organised individual, with time management being a priority for me.

I’m excited to gain on the job experience, working on real projects that have an impact on the depots, stores and customers, while gaining insight from experienced colleagues.
