    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Overall my placement year has been very informative and enjoyable, I worked within Physical Logistics and Project Management. Over the year I got a lot of projects to work on, which all varied in terms of their focus and this gave me a good opportunity to understand the physical logistics from different perspectives.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • As from day one, all my colleagues were very supportive and kind. Due to the fact that half of the office works on shift, since it is a very operational environment, it took quite a while for me to get to know everyone. However after a couple months, I was really settled in and I knew what everyone in the department was responsible for and they were a aware of my areas of support.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The management was very supportive, I had a weekly 1:1 with my line manager where I was able to discuss my current project status and other work i was busy with. Furthermore this time allowed me to communicate my experiences and get a deeper understanding of the business from my line managers point of view.
