From part-time steward to integration lead – Meet Kyle 👋 In our new #DFDSJourneys series, we aim to showcase diverse career paths within DFDS. Let’s dive into Kyle Miller’s journey.   Kyle joined DFDS when he was just 16 years old. Back then, he was looking for a part-time job while he finished his studies and started as a steward on our Dover ferries ⛴ Since then, he jumped aboard full-time, first as Management Apprentice – and as he finished school, he transitioned into a new role as Management Support. Today, he works as Project & Executive Assistant in the Global Crewing Leadership Team 🌊 His most recent task brought him to Spain, where he is the integration lead for Global Crewing, welcoming our new colleagues from the Strait of Gibraltar into DFDS 🤝🏼 He has also been a part of developing our Waves of Talent programme – a programme designed to increase the representation of women seafarers in DFDS 👩🏽⚓ “If I had to pick one highlight from my time with DFDS it would be when some colleagues and I visited various Maritime Universities in Türkiye, when we were in the early stages of developing the Waves of Talent programme,” says Kyle. Since then, Kyle and his team have launched the programme with a first class of 25 women cadets and the programme recently expanded to Morocco 👏 We are happy to see Kyle grow and develop within DFDS and we are looking forward to seeing what his next steps will be 😃 #DFDS #WeMoveForAllToGrow #CareerJourney
