Craig Booth pursues a career in banking and finance

Craig Booth, a former Falinge Park High School pupil, is embarking on an exciting future in banking and finance after achieving a first-class BA honours degree from Durham University.

Craig, 21, a former Bury College A Level student, has recently completed his Business Finance degree after achieving B grades in A Level Maths and Accounting and an A grade in Business and progressed directly onto Durham University.

During his time at university Craig enjoyed an exciting hands-on six week internship in China during his second year. The CRCC Asia programme was a unique opportunity to experience the culture, history and business world as work in a variety of sectors including finance, law marketing and PR, green technology and IT. During the internship Craig worked on a product launch for a smart watch.

Craig said: “My six week experience of China was amazing and I would love to go back one day. I was working alongside four other interns and the tasks I was set during the programme have ensured my CV and job application forms really stand out.”

Craig added: “My time at Bury College was the best years of my life. I was captain of the college football team was involved myself a lot with student initiatives. I am still in touch with my tutors from Bury College and I could always email them for help during my time at university.”

Craig is now pursuing a career within the banking and finance industry where he is aiming to progress through a major company.
