Will Perry, Class of 2019

What are you doing now, and how did you get there after leaving Trinity?

I work as an accountant, and I’m just about to sit my final ICAEW Exam, the Case Study. I got offered a job when I was 18 after doing some work experience locally. Sometimes you get lucky on the timing of things! I’ve now been doing it for about five years and have really enjoyed it.

How would you sum up your experience of the CCF at Trinity – and has anything from it stayed with you since?

Personally, it really developed my confidence. I became far more willing to just get on with things and take a lead when needed. I’ve found the skills really useful in the working world too, particularly looking at managing a piece of work and seeing it through. You also make friends for life. There were three of us in the RAF in Upper Sixth when I finished in 2019 and we still see each other regularly!
