Lee Glover (Class of 2019)

Lee has graduated with a 2:1 in History from Lancaster. Although nervous about what was to lie ahead at university, his experience at Lancaster was overwhelmingly joyful. Despite a large chunk of his time at university being clouded with Covid restrictions and concerns, he made many dear friends and learnt many lessons that helped him through the three years. Lee has secured a graduate role as a recruiter for TEKSytems, a global company which specialises in IT solutions recruitment. The skills learnt at Bolton School and subsequently sharpened at university will undoubtedly stand him in good stead!
