by an individual learning fund which you can
use to boost your skills. I have spent some
of my fund on an accountancy qualification
but you don't necessarily need to spend it on
formal classroom learning. Other graduates
have spent their funds on less traditional (but
still valuable) development activities like
funding training and travel for the Microsoft
Challenge Charity event!
Lloyds TSB has a big charity culture as well
as its own charitable foundation. Earlier
this year I was involved in organising an
Emerging Talent charity event that raised
nearly £10,000 for our previous charity of
the year, Barnardo's. The green agenda is
big here too - we are on a mission to reduce
our carbon footprint! We also support
more unorthodox charities like Opportunity
International that provide micro-finance in
developing countries. ....Read the full Editorial

the scheme means you really understand the
different parts of the business.
I started in late 2007 in Product Development
and, since March, have been working with
the Head of Business Management to look
at how we run MGS from a commercial and
operational point of view. As well as this, I'm
reviewing our investment process and which
hedge fund managers we use. It's a great way
to see the business from end to end.
To work here I think you really need to be
curious, innovative and take a methodical
approach to what you do. We don't have the
'star' culture that is seen at many City firms
and that means you're always supported in
what you do. For instance, I'm taking the first
of my CFA exams in December, which the
company is not only sponsoring, but allowing
study leave for. It's just that sort of a place.
Whatever the future holds, we'll see. ....Read the full Editorial

Editorial - TUI Travel

because of the opportunities and diversity of
the placements spread out over an 18 months
contract. With more than 47,000 employees
across the world and over 200 brands,
including two out of the three largest Travel
companies in the UK (Thomson and First
Choice) it was clear that it was more a case
of deciding what route I personally wanted
to explore rather then being told in which
areas of the business I should gain work
experience. With the Group split into 5 main
sectors, Mainstream, Activity, Specialist and
Emerging Markets, Joint Venture and Online
Destinations Services, there was certainly
no lack of choice, and I was excited about
the opportunities available to me not only
in the UK but also abroad, for example at
TUI Espana in Spain or TUI Deutschland in
Germany or further opportunities in Russia
and China. ....Read the full Editorial
