Testimonial Pioneer
“It was challenging, but very interesting and stimulating. I
was exposed to the whole range of their business activity,
from sales and marketing back through to manufacturing and
operations. I found the people who worked there to be very broad
and well-rounded in their skill sets, something which I learned from. I left very
much out of my comfort zone. The team were extremely supportive but it was
hugely challenging nonetheless”
