Essex high school student Alexis completed a week of work experience with Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland from 18–22 May, which was following her visit to Basildon Service Centre in March. During her placement, she rotated through a variety of roles, including office administration, electrical work, yard operations, and property maintenance. This gave her valuable exposure to different areas of the business and a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end rental process, from customer orders being received through to equipment preparation and dispatch.

Following her placement, Alexis got in touch to express her interest in pursuing an apprenticeship with Sunbelt Rentals, particularly within Property Maintenance. The company will be contacting her in January to discuss the upcoming opportunities, and are excited to see her begin her career at Sunbelt Rentals following such a positive experience.
