"Hands Over The Water"

Thomas Mercier, a 20 year old student from the University of Valenciennes has now completed eight weeks work experience with EnergyAce; we are delighted to have been the one company to open our doors to the International Trade student, who contacted over 80 firms in the UK to secure a placement.

Thomas joined us to further his degree and gain experience in a business-to-business environment whilst enhancing his already great grasp of the English language.

Thomas said:

“It is really interesting to see how a company with such innovative products that save energy and help reduce carbon emissions works, I have accompanied the sales engineers, the maintenance teams and worked closely with the managing director, I am learning new things every day.”

Gary Vizard, Managing Director of EnergyAce, said:

“We are really delighted to have Thomas stay with us, we see education of the next generation as a very important part in the future development of new ways of thinking. Thomas’s eight week stay will hopefully impress on him the importance energy efficiency plays on sustainability. We are sure he will remember this experience for many years.”

Thomas added:

“It’s the first time I have left my family and my friends for a long period and moreover in a foreign country with a different language. Everyone is really nice to me and thanks to that I feel really good! It was my birthday while in England and Gary and Eileen, the directors, bought me a present and a birthday cake in the colours of the French Flag which I shared with everyone at work.”
