"My time at KRONE UK has been widely varied giving me a fantastic insight into working life. Over the course of the year, I have worked with a variety of departments on different projects, including launching and implementing a new CRM system within the company. Within this project, I was able to develop my business management and marketing skills to help adapt the system to the company's requirements, deliver training to colleagues within the company and offer support once the system was in place. Following projects from the planning stages to execution has given me a huge sense of satisfaction.

As this was my first time working in an office environment, it was quite new to me having previously worked mainly in hands-on roles, but the close-knit team were supportive allowing me to work comfortably giving me as much support as was needed. Working within the marketing team gave me an opportunity to travel throughout the UK, visiting dealers and attending trade shows and events developing my communication and relationship building skills which can be built upon in the future.

Working at KRONE helped me extend on the knowledge I had learnt at university and has given me a clearer insight into the field I’d like to go into in the future. I’d highly recommend completing a placement whilst studying at university as I feel it has better equipped me for future life and given me a greater focus for my final year."
