Meet Naomi - Support Apprentice

• Why did you choose to work for MAN?

  I chose to work for MAN because it came across to me as an attractive company with lots of opportunities to progress and learn.

• Describe what it’s like to work here in three words.

  Dynamic, exciting and encouraging.

• What do you get up to in a typical week?

  In a typical week my tasks always tend to vary, being an apprentice I am always learning new things and being trained to complete new tasks. My jobs vary from completing assignments to completing tasks in my team such as order management.

• What’s been your proudest moment at work?

  My proudest moment at work was being told by the Aftersales Director that I was ‘one for the future’ for doing well in my previous role of Parts.

• What makes someone successful here?

  I think that all the employees here at MAN are successful, as everyone is always willing to put the effort in to help the company out and wants to do well; not just for themselves but also for the business.

• How have you and your career developed since you joined us?

  I have now been doing my apprenticeship here at MAN for two years. When I first started I had zero knowledge about trucks or the commercial vehicle industry. I began in a department called R&M and I have now moved around the business in two other departments. I have received the knowledge that I wouldn’t have got anywhere else.

• What’s the best thing about working for MAN?

  The best thing working for MAN is how welcoming and supportive the people are. I have met some great people who have been helpful and supportive throughout my Apprenticeship so far.

• What’s your favourite film?

  I have far too many to pick one favourite, but The Longest Yard, The Blind Side and The Shawshank Redemption.
