I chose Clowes Developments for my work experience placement because I had heard and seen many positive things about them in recent years. The wide range of roles within the industry intrigued me, and during my time with Clowes, I gained valuable insight into the various responsibilities each role entails. This experience has definitely sparked my interest in potential future career opportunities within the property sector.

During my placement, I gained a deeper understanding of the day-to-day operations that contribute to Clowes’ high-quality property developments. I worked closely with Tom and Jenny in the Land & Planning department and they helped me understand how properties are allocated for different uses and how critical decisions, like the placement of buildings and roads, are made in a development project. Getting out and attending site visits to Dove Valley Park and Fairham gave me a clearer picture of the lengthy process a development project undergoes, from initial planning to the final stages of construction.

The Clowes team were incredibly welcoming and always willing to provide detailed answers to my questions. I also spent time with Kevin, a developer, who gave me valuable insight into his responsibilities and how he entered the industry. We discussed the various roles and routes available for those interested in starting a career in property, which inspired me and made me start to plan my own path.

Overall, my experience at Clowes gave me a comprehensive understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and opportunities within the property sector. I highly recommend Clowes for work experience placements, as the team creates a comfortable, engaging, and supportive environment.
