“Working with the finance team at Clowes has had a significant impact on shaping my thoughts about my future career”
Ben Murby - Sixth Form Work Experience Student
I initially applied for work experience at Clowes because of its reputation as a successful local company and also because of its connection to Derby County Football Club, a team that means a lot to me personally.
I expected to gain some insight into the world of finance, but I never imagined I would learn as much as I have in just one week.
My time here has opened my eyes to the wide range of opportunities within finance and has given me a real sense of what my future career could look like. I’ve discovered that finance is far more varied and engaging than I had previously thought. The team was incredibly supportive, always willing to answer my questions and explain things clearly.
One of my favourite tasks was reviewing payment runs and submitting invoices. I found that process particularly interesting, but honestly, I enjoyed every aspect of the role.
I’d like to thank everyone I had the chance to work with at Clowes Development’s head office, Ednaston Park. Everyone was so welcoming and made my experience truly enjoyable.
