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

I have learned a lot both within my role and with the apprenticeship. From my role side of it, there is always constant development and I always feel comfortable discussing with my manager if I feel as though I have been stagnant for a while. From the apprenticeship side I am learning how to be an accountant and learning all the specific parts of legislation
