“Our intern Sam was able to identify some great, quick, short-term wins. He also wrote an action plan which highlighted some longer-term efficiency strategies, including a recommendation that new automation machinery could be brought in and used around the factory to increase productivity. It's estimated that the streamlining changes Sam implemented will amount to significant labour cost saving".

Clifford has been such a valuable member of the team since he joined and we’ve gained so much from the WMG Internship Programme".
