Polly Wiseman: Marketing Assistant Placement
“I have loved my placement year at Golfbreaks. Having the chance to explore all aspects of the Marketing Team and spending time within the Design Department has not only enhanced my skills but also provided me with a great understanding of the wider business. Having the opportunity to attend work events, experience FAM and filming trips kept things exciting and allowed me to connect with so many people across the company. The team culture is supportive and motivating – I couldn’t have asked for a better placement!”
Tom Peters: Sales Consultant Placement
"I loved every second of my placement. I really enjoyed the motivational aspect of sales whereby the effort I put in is fairly rewarded in terms of commission. I have found working in an office environment which is open plan has really helped as I could easily communicate to different people in various departments. Overall, Golfbreaks has been a great company to do my placement."
Hanna Bartol: Customer Service Coordinator Placement
"My placement at Golfbreaks immersed me in the world of tourism and allowed me to develop a range of skills, especially communication and problem-solving. It gave me a deeper understanding of the operational aspects of working in a business. The highlight was working with a supportive team who brought an amazing atmosphere to the office."
Jamie Hughes: Travel Administrator Placement
"I absolutely loved my placement as a Travel Administrator at Golfbreaks. Taking on real responsibilities and interacting with every department of the business daily allowed me to develop skills for my future career. I was always unsure which career pathway I wanted, however my experience at Golfbreaks certainly settled that debate. After my final year at university, I pridefully returned to Golfbreaks in the product and pricing team, and my first day back felt like I never left. Already having a years’ experience at Golfbreaks, it gave me the confidence to progress my career in a new role full of opportunities.’’
