Tom⁺

Tom excelled on his placement as the sole UK HR Assistant for global business T.D. Williamson. As well as improving his confidence and business understanding, he was tipped for a future in leadership by the company’s HR Director.

Tom chose UWE largely because of its organisational partnerships – particularly as his work placement was a vital part of his Business Management with Human Resource Management degree.

In his second year, Tom secured his placement as the sole UK HR Assistant for global pipeline equipment business T.D. Williamson.

“The placement kicked off with a meeting with my manager in Belgium. She gave me objectives and I led from them. I was given training and there was ongoing support. It was a great opportunity for me to liaise with people across the business while working on my own initiative.”

Tom’s professionalism didn’t go unnoticed and, on completing his placement, the HR Director wrote to say thank-you and tipped him for a future in leadership.
