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

I enjoy working at Bagnalls very much. My role varies day to day and I am always kept busy with different tasks to do. I also work with great colleagues within my branch, as well as the company as a whole, and feels like a close knit group throughout.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt many new skills and developed on my existing skills in my time at Bagnalls. Prior to starting I had 0 knowledge on the painting industry or managing contracts, however I would now consider myself to have strong knowledge on this due to great training provided.

5/5
The programme I am on has a very clear and organised structure. It is clear on what I will be assessed on throughout my programme, and the different time frames I will be assessed on these.

5/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer. Whenever I need help or taught anything, they are always available to help, and this is also nationally across the group, not just internally within my branch.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
As previously mentioned, the support within the company is great and I am able to ask for help or training with anything at any time.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It improves my knowledge about the construction industry and the laws and regulations that we need to follow under CDM etc.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We have a social gathering each Christmas, and attend painting and decorating shows.
