Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
So far I have found the office welcoming and appreciative of the communication between my colleagues. Several people here have been here for over five years to even over twenty years which illustrates that the company values its workers and take care of them. It’s a place that looking forward to working at.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I’d say excellent, I have been provided a lot of resources and time which has meant that my learning has been supported. The sort of environment I’m in encourages me to reach out when I need help but also pushes me to work by myself in a healthy way.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’d say that I’ve learnt several new skills such as being able to piece together drawings whether that’s brickwork or blockwork independently as I’ve become more confident in myself.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I feel like the structure of the programme has worked out well for me as I take on real world past projects which sometimes have only just been submitted so I’m able to compare how well I would’ve done.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer. For example we are given opportunities to go down to London where ongoing projects are visited and I am given a visual example of the work that goes on.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
We’ve been let known that if we ever have questions or inquiries that we could reach out to our mentor there. I rated it 10/10 as when it’s possible we do sessions face to face which shows the commitment and guidance they are ready to give.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel really good about it. We are given time to look over a lesson once it’s finished and the way it’s formed has benefited me a lot in reinforcing the things we have gone through.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes there are professional networking events.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Lyons & Annoot to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Not only is it a company that takes pride in the work that is done but the way that colleagues interact with each other helps bring a positive and healthy environment which helps boost morale within the workplace. With that said as mentioned before some people have been here from eight years to well and over twenty years which in my eyes is a really good sign.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lyons & Annoot?
A bit of advice I’d give is to be willing to learn and to have enthusiasm to develop your skills.
