“GBP is rewarding for both employer and graduate. The recruitment of a highly qualified individual has resulted in a significant contribution within the work place, particularly through the progress of key projects. The placement has also given an opportunity to show that public finance can be equally challenging as anything in the commercial sector, with a range of services issues that can provide for an interesting career.”
