The Role
A great experience and environment to work in.
Felt like part of the team, in a fast-growing and expanding company.
Regular meetings with targets. Whenever I felt I was struggling with something I always could speak to someone for advice.
I enjoyed the challenge of meeting targets and working on different projects.
Was given responsibility to create my own projects and the opportunity to work independently.
My organisation skills and communication skills have improved hugely.
The Company
Fun and lively atmosphere at work. Lots of social activities, beers, 5-a-side, cricket and golf (obviously!)
Lots of training and regular meetings meant I knew exactly where I was and how I was progressing.
Personal contact with my line manager and Sales Director, always found time for my queries.
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
International Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
I will certainly be giving them a call when I graduate!
The Culture
Only a couple of placement students but the company is quite young (most under 30) so lots of social events going on.
Lots of bars and clubs all within walking distance of the office.
Lots of sport and social activities, plus free golf and holidays
