Celebrating Employee Success as Bryony Brennan Achieves Digital Marketing Degree

At Bargate Homes, we’re incredibly proud to share that our Marketing Executive, Bryony Brennan, has successfully completed her Digital Marketing Degree Apprenticeship at the University of Chichester, earning a 2:1 Bachelor of Science (BSc).

Bryony has been an integral part of our team for over two years, working closely with our sales department to enhance the marketing and promotion of our residential developments. Her academic journey was made possible through the Government’s ‘Move’ apprenticeship funding scheme, with us fully supporting and funding the final stage of her four-year course.

The degree required Bryony to balance her studies with her role, spending one day a week at university while applying her knowledge directly to her work with us. She managed successful events and created engaging social media campaigns, strengthening the Bargate brand across multiple platforms through effective branding strategies.

Her hard work and commitment culminated in her graduation ceremony in February 2025, held at the historic Chichester Cathedral.

Bryony Brennan, Marketing Executive at Bargate Homes, said: “Balancing work and study over the past four years has been challenging but incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful for the support from Bargate Homes, which allowed me to gain hands-on experience while developing my skills through the degree. Graduating at Chichester Cathedral was a proud moment, and I’m excited to apply everything I’ve learned to my role and future career.”

Matthew Lunney, our Sales & Marketing Manager, added: “We are incredibly proud of Bryony’s achievement. Investing in our team is vital to the continued success of our business, and Bryony’s development is a testament to the opportunities available for growth within our company. We look forward to seeing her career flourish even further.”
