What do you think it is that sets Enterprise apart from all the other companies out there?

Everything. When I look at the difference between my friends and me, I can’t help but think how lucky I am. I mean, we all left university and started our first proper jobs at around the same time but our experiences have been totally different. They’re all stuck in jobs they hate, and the culture of the companies they work for mean that they’re never going to get the opportunity to prove themselves. Whereas, I know my talent isn’t going to go to waste. The Enterprise policy is to promote from within, so, as long as I put in the hard work, I’ll reap the rewards.

I can’t think of anything worse than working for a company that doesn’t recognise or reward the contribution their employees make. That’s why I love being part of the Enterprise team. I hadn’t even been with the company a year when I was made Assistant Manager. And I’ve already experienced so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Everyone likes to meet their sale targets. But imagine if day trips to Paris and 14-night holidays in Dubai were the incentive. Now that’s what I call job satisfaction.

It’s not all jetsetting and sunbathing though. We may play hard but we work hard too. Our branch figures are really important to us and the whole team puts in 110% to make sure we keep our customers happy. If there’s one think I’ve learnt from our Management Trainee Programme, it’s that a satisfied customer will always come back for more.

Actually, the Management Trainee Programme has taught me so much about running my own area of the business that I can’t wait to become a Branch Manager. Not just because the company takes all of the Branch Managers to Orlando every year, but because I’ve started to mentor new trainees and I really enjoy it. I want to get more of an opportunity to pass on my knowledge.
