    9/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have developed my leadership skills, management styles as well as constantly adapting to different situations to be able to ensure the business runs smoothly.

    9/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • It's good, but hard to complete when running a busy business. The trainers are friendly and helpful. The business project isn't great for those who struggle to write long essays.

    7/10

    • Very well organised. Great modules and really key to developing and improving yourself to progress to the next level.

    • It's helped me massively in developing my skills and learning new skills as well. I have never not learnt anything new from my apprenticeships.

    9/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Not many, but the ones that are there are fantastic experiences that anyone would enjoy!

  • 9a. Would you recommend Marston's to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It's a good company to work for, the people are what make the business. In the last few years Marston's has made massive strides in improving employee work life and incentives/bonuses are constantly being improved.

    • Have the initiative to try something new and always be open to learning. Hard work and determination will allow you to drive and progress your career!
