Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role now is a Branch manager this is due to the fact that I completed my Level 3 apprenticeship with Travis perkins. The training was simple and easy to follow and worth every hour of effort I put in. I recommend it to every person I work with and now have a team of 9 under me and have 2 of my team on the apprenticeships and will push others too after they have completed it.

All I needed. from hire cars to train tickets. Honestly anything i needed it was there, the only exception was computer access when using certain sites as there wasn't always access to a computer so you had to buy your own laptop .

It changes you as a person in a really good way. It makes you think about everything differently and see things you would never notice before.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Not particularly, other than what we arrange ourselves at branch
