2024
Undergraduate – Event Coordinator – Testimony

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Fusion 2K, the experience and knowledge I’ve gained throughout my placement has been invaluable. I have relished being a part of the Production Team, all be it temporary; and I have learnt so much from everyone around me.

I have been given so many amazing opportunities over the last year, helping to organise and manage several great events, including Nissan at Silverstone Festival, two brand immersion events for Mazda, Kia Everything Electric London, as well as Hyundai at the annual Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Press Event.

I am confident that I will take everything I have attained during my placement with me to future job roles, and it has enabled me to put everything I have been taught at University into practice before I even graduate.

I believe that securing a placement at Fusion is an incredible opportunity and is one that shouldn’t be passed up.

Undergraduate – Event Coordinator – Testimony

Since starting at Fusion, I have been given some incredible opportunities to gain hands-on industry experience. From my very first week, I was given the chance to get involved in a wide variety of projects. Ranging from Goodwood FOS, to helping organise a hospitality suite at the Formula E in London, as well as many others. I have been given the chance to take ownership of some small projects and develop relationships with other departments within the company aswell as external contractors and suppliers.

Within the company I have been able to become a member of the Charity & Social Committee, helping to promote company-wide fundraising activities. I have been able to grow in confidence since joining the team and gain valuable skills that will ultimately help me to establish my career in the future.
