We’ve got a new team member – Charlie Morley, 22, is joining the Democracy team as our first PR Apprentice.

Competition for the role was high, with over one hundred applicants applying for the position, performing exceptionally well in a combination of psychometric, numerical and verbal reasoning tests devised by business psychology consultants Psycuity, before being selected to take part in the formal interview process.

There were a lot of great candidates who applied for the role, but with the help of the team at Psycuity we were able to make an informed decision about who was the best candidate for the business as we move into our second year.

Charlie, who has a degree in English Lit and experience in both online journalism and events management, will be adding her first comments to the blog later today . . .
