We’ve had Jayden in with us this week for work experience and he’s been brilliant.
He’s got stuck into everything, had a laugh with the team, and has been a great help around the centre.
One thing we’ve learned this week is that Jayden wants to be just like Alex when he grows up. We’ve told him that’s fine, but he’ll need to accept that a bald head comes with the job! 😂
Thanks for all your hard work this week, Jayden. It’s been great having you with us and we wish you all the best for the future.
