9a. Would you recommend Enterprise Mobility to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

they are a friendly hardworking company, they are customer focused, I enjoy working for them, as I get certain benefits for example, free health checks yearly, we get discounts when needing to rent vehicle ourselves as employees, pensions are good, as are yearly bonuses, you often get recognised and rewarded for hard work

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Enterprise Mobility?

I would advise them to do it because they apprenticeship program they send you on is good, and there is always a very wide variety of different vehicles, makes and models to work on to gane as much knowledge as possible, once qualified you also get upskilled and sent on courses for things like weight testing, crane and tailift servicing, HGV and forklift licence which enterprise will pay for you to complete as well as pay you more hourly the more skilled tech you become
