BRYN SPICES UP HIS LIFE WITH
JOB PROMISE
Spice
Girl by night and IT expert by day, Bryn Abbott has returned to the University
of Lincolnshire & Humberside this week after spending his year out working
for Hull firm Croda Universal.
Before
33-year-old Bryn decided to train for a ‘proper job’ he worked full-time as an
entertainer with popular local show band Housequake. Over the last year
he has fitted performing around his busy work schedule.
The
Business and IT undergraduate is now entering his final year at ULH after
spending the last year with Croda, who have offered him a full-time job when he
graduates.
Housequake tours nationally and
internationally and Bryn went from IT network administrator one minute to a
range of personalities including the Spice Girls the next.
“I’ve
been with Housequake for 10 years and we’ve toured all over the world,
but I got to the point where I knew I wouldn’t want to be doing it at 50,” said
Bryn, from Albert Avenue, Hull.
“I
wish I’d gone to university when I was younger, but thanks to the support of
lecturers such as John Levac who leads the computing side of my degree I’ve
able to move on.”
It
was John who recommended a placement, and although Croda offered to take him on
straight away in the IT department it was his boss who recommended he stay at
university.
“My
manager suggested that finishing my degree was definitely the best option, and
now I have the knowledge that when I graduate I’ll have a job to go to,” he
added.
