Living in London, David Adewole took a job delivering pizzas for Domino's after being made redundant during the pandemic – but it was time for a fresh start.
He moved to Manchester in the summer of 2020 and started working at the Covid test centre at Central Retail Park after another job had fallen through. His 10 years of experience in hospitality - as a waiter and kitchen porter - were not much use while Covid restrictions were keeping bars and restaurants shut.
But by December, David had decided that he wanted a job in tech.
