    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I have enjoyed the insight greatly. The marketing team have taken great care and time to explain the ins and outs of their strategy to me. I have also been entrusted to carry out valuable research and have even been able to pursue a couple of my own projects such as writing an article for the GRB website. All in all I have had a great experience.

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • I can't stress enough how friendly all the staff were. There is a brilliant, motivated work atmosphere here. The interaction between all employees is fabulous and is promoted by senior management who organise events such as barbecues, go-karting trips and boat trips during the summer. I was extremely impressed with the general atmosphere.
