In the morning we spent time in Quality Control, testing animal feed, which was really interesting and fun. In the afternoon, we moved over to the Warehouse where we helped serve customers and learned more about how orders are prepared.
I got an insight into how a business runs and all the
different roles within Dugdale Nutrition.”
My favourite day was spent in the Quality Testing department, where the team showed us how to grind down pellets and test them to check the protein levels. Before testing, we organised the samples into piles to make them easier to manage. This was definitely my favourite
department within the company. We finished the day by serving customers in the warehouse, which was a great way
to round things off.
You get to meet lots of different people, and everyone is really friendly and supportive.
