    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Information on the end of the day could have been clearer. In one email I was told it would finish at 16:30 however in others it was 17:30. For reference of others it is 17:30. Otherwise it was all very clear.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Those leading the session were happy and upbeat but not overly enthusiastic. Due to the early travel that was required for some of us who attended the event there was a little drowsiness, but as is the nature of a Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ.
