Daniel, how did the possibility of living in London come about?
I moved down to London to join the Diageo HR Graduate Programme. This was a great opportunity as it allowed me to experience different roles at the start of my career, as each rotation was only 12 months long.
As Diageo is an international company, I knew I would have the opportunity to return to Spain which was also a reason for me wanting to join the company.
