“For many years I have worked in the family business and have gained experience in multiple functions from production, to administration, sales and so on. I can really see the positive impacts that having an understanding of multiple functions of a business can bring and feel fortunate and excited that I am in a rotational graduate scheme with Persimmon Homes.”
