Variety in the job

The 19 month training scheme at Senate Electrical gave Andrea the opportunity to develop a full range of skills: “You get a lot of exposure to all aspects of the business. I was surprised at the variety of the work involved.” Andrea decided to move into the Marketing Department and was appointed Product Manager with responsibility for a range of electrical products.

“When I took over the job I didn’t appreciate the level of responsibility I’d be given for over 100 branches but I’m really enjoying it now. I’m also surprised at how much fun you can have!”
