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

As an apprentice in the central finance team I have the opportunity to work within each team. I am currently working in the invoice processing team, in this team one of my roles is to reject any incorrect invoices that we receive from suppliers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have been doing my apprenticeship with Savills for six months now and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I am constantly learning through my on and off the job training and so I am always developing my knowledge of working in finance.

I have certainly improved my communication skills due to working within many teams which has given me the opportunity to meet most people in the office.
