An Introduction from Our Placement Officer

Hi, I’m George, the Placement Officer for the Exeter Business and Finance Society for the 2025/26 academic year. I'm currently on my placement year as a Feasibility & Investment Analyst at Hilton; I work on major EMEA hotel development projects and support investment decisions across a portfolio of over 1,000 hotels. Alongside this, I previously served as the Treasurer of the Business and Finance Society (2024/25), scaled my own successful business, worked as a Consultant with Exe Consulting and completed an accountancy internship.

In my search for Industrial Placements last year, I submitted over 40 applications, interviewed at 10 companies and secured 4 offers. I understand first-hand what it takes to build a great CV and cover letter, and how to do well in interviews.

Whether you're starting your first CV, tailoring your cover letter, prepping for interviews, or just unsure where to begin, I’m here to support you. I know how overwhelming the process can feel, and I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate it all. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for help with CV and cover letter reviews; interview prep; application feedback, or just to have a general chat about careers and advice!

Drop me a message, book an appointment, or stop by during my office hours. No question is too small - I’m always happy to help.
