"Since joining BW as a Summer Intern I've been impressed by the company’s supportive culture which has been invaluable to my professional development. Early into the internship, I was given significant responsibility, from working independently on projects, to attending meetings with clients. I truly feel I've contributed to the success of the firm, as opposed to working on trivial tasks."

"I have found my experience at BW amazing, working with an approachable and skilled mentor and an empathetic team ready to give support whenever needed. My progression has grown significantly since starting, expanding on my IT knowledge to a level where I now feel confident covering our local office. BW has offered a supportive environment to succeed and upskill within many areas of life."
TOM DONOVAN IT SUPPORT APPRENTICE

"The range of work I had the opportunity to get involved with, including contributing to urgent deadlines for clients as well as internal business developments - I was truly a valued member of the team. The culture at Barnett Waddingham has been reflected in the emphasis on wellbeing and work-life balance throughout my eight weeks here; the support system of mentors and supervisors is reassuring and helpful, though everyone in the office is happy to take time to help."
