Overview
Assisted my line manager with some very large insurance claims for damage that occurred on estates that we manage from Storm Arwen. Managed all of the properties on the estates that we manage in North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Renewed and granted grazing licences, cropping licences and tenancy agreements to local farmers.
Skills
Improved my IT skills, including using Land App for mapping. Communication skills have improved as I have been communicating with contractors for projects on estates and communicated with farm and residential tenants very frequently, this then made my confidence grow as well.
Responsibilities
Yes, I got given projects to carry out myself but there was support there if I needed it. This allowed me to develop my own ideas.
Support & Guidance
There was always support there, and it was up to me how much support I used. I did a bit of working from home which I didn't find hard as i was used to being independent from university.
Culture
I found each office within Savills was almost like a different company as they all have their own office rules and ways of working. People that I have spoken to that work in different departments/offices all have very different experiences of working at Savills to eachother.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my placement, I met people that taught me skills that will be very handy in life.
Yes
That if you hear feedback from one office it doesn't reflect every Savills office as everyone has very different experiences across the different offices and departments.
