  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I enjoyed the training days we had in Leatherhead and felt they were structured well towards us as placement students. The basic training in store and the warehouse had a set training guide and felt this was adhered to and covered most things. Development through the placement came through facing new challenges and appraisals.
