Loved it!
Not a student but a real part of the team
Could always turn to them with any issues
Sometimes hectic but the day went quickly!
I was in charge of £300,000 worth of kit!
It was so much better than learning from books!
The Company
B-B floor was quiet but never short of a laugh
A few hiccups with paperwork during the year but nothing major!
Always invited to take part in extra training such as presentation skills and manual handling training
Flexi Time
