    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Overall, the placement with LBG was thoroughly enjoyable. Initially, engaging in a new culture and way of working was a struggle, but as I got to grips with this challenge, I began to enojoy both the atmosphere and the work more fully.
