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

I am working in Transaction services, whereby I am exposed to a variety of different projects with a focus on insolvencies of some of the largest global companies. Each day I am faced with new challenges and presented with more exciting opportunities.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

My team always help me to develop my existing skills by placing me in challenging situations, to ensure I am always being stretched. When I have mastered one skill, I am trained on a new skill and then put in a situation to action what I have learned.
