Today marks the end of Carter’s work experience with us, and he has certainly made the most of his time here.

During his placement, Carter worked alongside our Helpdesk, Passive Fire, Workshop, Engineering and Media teams. He got stuck into every department, asked plenty of questions and gained hands-on experience across the business.

One of the highlights was creating his own Instagram Reel from scratch with help from our Media team. From planning and filming to editing the final video, Carter took on the challenge and produced something he can be proud of.

Carter also finished his placement by doing something brilliant for the local community. To celebrate National Give Something Away Day, he hand delivered an impressive 24.8kg of food to Lewisham Foodbank!

We would like to thank Carter for being enthusiastic, helpful and a pleasure to have around the workplace. We have really enjoyed having him as part of the team and look forward to seeing where his positive future takes him.

Well done, Carter!

We asked Carter a few questions:

What has surprised you most about working here so far?
“I’ve been surprised by how friendly everyone is to someone new like me and that I never knew how complicated some people’s jobs can be!”

What is the most interesting task or project you have worked on during your placement?
“Working on creating a quiz video with Ozay using Adobe Firefly and Photoshop!”

What is one skill you have learned that you think will help you in the future?
“Being confident helps you introduce yourself to new people at somewhere new as it can make the workers help you and teach you. Also, in the future being confident can help me make new friends and help me if i am being interviewed for a job or if I get a new job.”

Has this experience changed your idea of what career you might want, and why?
“No, because I’ve learn more about fire alarms and fire doors also security stuff. So because I want to be an engineer I know some stuff about what I’m doing and can help me understand it better.”
