Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

On a day to day, I process multiple orders from customers using the programme SAP, Excel and Winshuttle. I will also have customer calls were we discuss stock level, issues and efficiencies relating to stock. I will also work on projects to improve efficiencies within Supply Chain including Key Performance Indicators.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility which was amazing which really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I looked after many customers and in the 2nd half of internship I was given more customers to look after. You are able to communicate and start projects if you have a great idea which you can lead and this can be with senior management.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The company culture is very sociable with a few online socials being really fun. People are very easy to talk to and I feel as though you can reach out to many people who would be happy to help.
