Ben Ringer, Current Graduate "The exposure to every level of the company keeps the development real time and continues to challenge and push you, but it is worth every minute."
Sam Hunt, Current Graduate "The focus on your personal development is just as important to De Vere Venues as the overall running of the business. As my first placement comes to an end, I have found the support and guidance received has given me the essential tools to becoming a great Manager. Nothing is a problem, everything is an opportunity"
