  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I couldn't really fault the organisation. I was a little bit wary on my first day and didn't know what to expect but the application process and communication throughout the year was great.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was made to feel like any other member of the team - I attended all meetings, sales visits, went to customer events in places such as Edinburgh and London and also went to the annual awards in Manchester which was fantastic. If I needed additional training then it was provided.
