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

My role was procurement of products for business units such as British Gas and PH Jones. I looked at sourcing of materials and supply chain management, working with suppliers and internal stakeholders.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes i was given responsibility within my job role, learning in a small team of three. When colleagues were on annual leave i was given a great deal of responsibility to engage with suppliers and internal stakeholders. Responsibilities to present and learn throughout the 9 weeks was a large responsibility.
