I’m excited to see the exciting opportunities Paula’s apprenticeship journey is yet to bring her.’’
Line Manager (Caitlin Stubbs): ‘’Since Paula joined the team I have found her very professional around the work place. When given tasks to do by myself she has more than excelled in the completion of these. I found her very efficient when undertaking the tribune checks, hardworking and a good asset to the team. She is not afraid to get stuck in within all fields of compliance and doesn’t shy away from asking for work to do. Paula has proven herself to be a competent, enthusiastic member of the team has demonstrated a willingness to take on new roles and responsibilities.’’
