We were delighted to be joined by Jack Chappell for a weeks’ experience this week, before he returned back to Thorpe St Andrews School Sixth Form for his final year of A-levels. Here’s what he thought of the week he spent with us.
“My work experience at the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce began on an early Monday morning in September when I was greeted by Philippa, the Head of Customer Experience at the Chamber. Philippa took the time to show me around the office and to introduce me to the team, as well as giving an insightful explanation of what the Chamber does and how it supports local businesses. This ranged from promotion to advice and support on a wide range of areas, and I was given the opportunity to witness and contribute to all of these myself.
“Over the course of the week, I not only discovered the extent of Norfolk business on a national and international tier, but also the potential for growth that lies in the county, all of this encouraged and augmented by the Chamber. As well as this, I noticed the Chamber demonstrate an accommodating approach to companies looking for membership by tailoring its offers to suit their needs rather than ‘hard-selling’. The sense of respect and support that I have seen expressed to other businesses are not only values that I will take away, but also values that have been reflected in the team’s treatment of me during my placement here at the Chamber.”
