Jess – Cinema Manager

“Bright Lights has helped me see the value of a good work-life balance - we're a people business and we provide entertainment so being able to have fun is important”

Marcus – Area Manager

“No matter which cinema I go to, there's always somebody I know either because they were an Experience Hero or a Mentor - the best thing about it is meeting new people, developing my network, and making myself known to the company”
