How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
i feel that the qualification course is helping me perform better at my role.
whether its tools i can use to help my team directly or whether its tolls that help me personally, i feel within the first 3 to 4 months undergone on the course, i am already a better team leader than i was 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.)
4/5
there are a few company events which take place and each department occasionally hosts its own social events such as curry nights.
we do alot of charity events, like challenege events such as chilli eating contests, bush tucker trials, and we have recently rolled out an end of month dress down day, which all of our depots nationally partake in, with a different charity to raise money for each month.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend MOTUS Commercials to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Motus commercial has a brilliant worth ethic and always looks after its employees. the opportunitys that the company offers within are like something i have never experienced before. internal promotion is prefered to hiring in external candidates.
this has allowed me to progress from a van driver to my current role within a very short amount of time. Hard work is recognised.
