Morgan Sindall went out of their way to provide myself with a good atmosphere, and the correct team to aid my personal training and development. Plus not many other 20/21 year old's get the chance to work on a £40 million pound school!

• Company Parties/Events

15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rated 2/10

Apart from a few charity events, there did not appear to be many activities arranged outside of work.

In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

I highly recommend Morgan Sindall as a sponsoring company.
