Gemma Doyle talks in this video about her marketing placement at Valspar, an international manufacturer of paint and coatings, with a UK head office in Reading. Gemma is currently studying for a 4 year BSc Management with Marketing (Year in Business) at Royal Holloway.
At the recent call back afternoon Gemma spoke about how she had been impressed with the level of responsibility she had been given when she joined Valspar and how she is treated as if a full time employee. She talked about a project she was given in her first week to help organise a conference for 3,000 people in November and the work she has been involved in to do that.
Gemma recommends that students research companies and not just consider those they have heard of, or in her case she would not have ended up joining Valspar where she is very happy!
