He was willing to learn, took on guidance very well and ultimately seemed to enjoy the day.
  • Peter Callister, Roc-Associates UK Director, 07909695858, data@roc-associates.uk, We had a number of youngsters over the last few months undertake some work experience with us Sonny being one of them. He is a very pleasant young man with a lot of enthusiasm, he takes instructions well and was very diligent when undertaking the work set for him. I believe he would be an excellent candidate for an apprenticeship or such like for instance training with the CITB.
