Lucky to have a supportive manager however luckily if I wasn't with a good manager I would think it is fairly easy to change due to size of business.

Uni of Warwick has been very good. The struggle is when I try to manage uni within work time and finsing the right balance
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Fairly relevant for what I expect from a general university course however there is substantial amount of training that isn't so relevant.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Badminton, hiking planning committee, classic cars group, go karting, lots and lots, very lucky at JLR
