Work experience that ‘wowed’ us!
We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Harry to complete his 1 week work experience at our Head Office in Christchurch, and he was so fantastic we just have to shout about this young man.
Talking about what he hoped to gain from his week, Harry said ‘I hope to know what it feels like in a real workplace and the work that goes on within one. I’d also like to get an idea of what work I want to go into in the future’.
Well, from what we saw of Harry during his week with us we couldn’t believe this was his first time in the world of work! Experiencing a day in each department, we’re delighted to have given him the chance to understand and try various tasks across the business. He spent time in:
✔ Sales
✔ Marketing
✔ Administration
✔ Operations
✔ Finance
From organising kit heading to site and writing a case study for our website, to preparing sales quotes (with amazing precision) and raising invoices and reconciling supplier statements, his whistlestop tour ensured he gained insight into as many areas as possible.
Enjoying rugby, mountain biking, skiing and water sports in his free time, he loves the adrenaline and also has a very wise head firmly on his shoulders! Yet to decide on his A-levels but with his sights set on Economics, Geography, Maths or Politics, we’ve no doubt that Harry’s hard working attitude will take him far.
We’ve been blown away by his professionalism, hard work and politeness and we’d hire him tomorrow if we could! He is an absolute credit to his family, school and himself – Thankyou for choosing to spend your week with us Harry!
