Added by Love Business East Midlands | 19 July 2024
CJ Timms Electrical recently welcomed Callum Lee, a 19-year-old student from Millau, France, who has now successfully completed a two-month work placement with the company.
Callum, who is studying International Marketing at Louise Michel School in Narbonne, required real-life work experience abroad to validate his first year on the course. He expressed his gratitude, stating,
"Thanks to the kindness of Roger and Russ, I was able to work alongside them for these two months abroad!"
During his placement, Callum developed a business project proposal for launching an e-commerce website, aiming to provide the company with a new source of revenue and to expand its online presence. Callum remarked,
"I am working on an in-depth analysis of the e-commerce market, measuring the benefits, the risks, the competition already present on the market, etc."
Callum appreciated the friendly and professional environment at CJ Timms, saying,
"I love CJ Timms for their friendly and professional way of working. They are not as demanding as a big company. By being a small team, everybody supports each other without pressure. It’s a great company to work in; while working a lot, they still make time to talk, understand, and explain any problems."
Despite not having a background in electrical work, Callum gained a considerable understanding thanks to Managing Director Roger's guidance.
"Thanks to Roger, I now have a greater understanding of all of it. Roger could be a great teacher!"
Roger Timms, Managing Director of CJ Timms, said,
"Having Callum at CJ Timms for two months was a pleasure. He fit straight into our team and showed interest and understanding of our offerings. During his time with us, we gained insights into international business and e-commerce possibilities we wouldn’t have considered. We wish Callum the best of luck in gaining his qualification and his future endeavours."
