The Role
Fantastic Oppertunities was part of a fantastic team
Being part of a team is one of the companies core values
whenever anyone has a problem the managers are always avaliable to support and guidence
Setting my own deadlines meant I kept myself very busy
Left to my own devices and deadlines I was given plenty of responsibility including attending boat shows by myself and Lloyds of London
Skills enhanced across the board from IT to representing the company brand
The Company
Atmosphere was fantastic, very family orintated. No issues with other colleuges and there was plenty to do outside of the office on activity team builing days.
With the support of the university and from my boss it was easy to move straight into my role at the company.
1 weeks initial training but after that the training continued on the job to which I was incorporated into every part of the comapny from sales to admin.

The Culture
Just me in the company
Found a placement in Plymouth where I go to university so already had a student house and had many friends in the area. Plymouth is cheap for students and living.
Plymouth has a very large student and adult nightlife. Plenty of events going on every evening.
