Loui Fowler - last day of work experience

On the last day of my Work Experience, I wanted to complete some of my own business work to be ahead and also start preparing for the holidays, but before this Mike had prepared a check list for me to complete. Which was to: finish off my letter to send to Hull FC, to choose 3 possible Icebreakers for GEW, finish off my blog, finish off my letter to send to all the Super League clubs, finish the project with Lee and finally send the final GEW Banner designs for Charles approval. I had quite a busy morning ahead of me, so I started it by finishing off the GEW designs for their own TRIPLE R Banner and sent them off to Charles. Then I began on my tick list of finishing off the two letters; which I also accomplished. I then was to finish my blog and make a start on the GEW Icebreakers. Half way through my Icebreaker document, Jon and Jamie (the owners of Yes Yes) was here for a meeting and Mike insisted I came along. The meeting for me was really good, as I’ve now got some great new ideas from Jon and Jamie but also they wanted to finish off my website, and make me a landline number for my business not only to make it look bigger, but also attracts more companies. So personally, I found the meeting very beneficial, and are looking forward for the meeting with Jon and Jamie and hopefully working with Yes Yes in the future. The meeting finish at roughly 1:15, so I quickly nipped out for my lunch to get back in time to finish of the last little bits Lee and I had to do for the GEW event. Unfortunately we didnt achieve what we wanted to on the last day but overall I believe we did pretty well for a week’s worth of work, and hopefully enough to give the GEW event a little more money. So after it all I went to back to the office, collected my belongings and ended a great week of Work Experience.

Day 4 Loui's Work Experience with Youth Enterprise

Day 4:- When arriving into the office the first thing I had to do was to start this Blog about what I’ve done over the week of my work experience. So I started with it so it could be published before 10 o’clock. At 9 Charles got me to go across to the Guildhall to go see his friend Mitch Upfold as he was going to get me some boxing tickets for Luke Campbell’s fight on the Saturday. So we went off to go see him to receive the tickets ( which I was grateful for), then we went to find one of Charles friends called Nathan Turner as had a very humorous and true conversation talking about my business and general things. Then as soon as we came back I was sent by Mike, to go deliver a cheque to Hullabaloon, which wasn’t very far just down the road. So when I got back I had to just finish off any of my own projects, which are the GEW banner design, My letter to Adam Pearson which all needed to be done and look for the Icebreakers for the GEW events. After I did this Lee turned up again to finish off any other sponsor money that we needed to collect as well as the raffle prizes which we were again very successful in as we received a Chinese Laundry T-shirt form Chinese Laundry, and we also received a £25 Lush beauty set for the bath to. We also started talking to the manager at Famous Memorabilia who was very willing to donate as he said that Enterprise is very close to his heart. So he said he would be willing to donate.

Loui Fowler - Work Experience Blog

Day 1 - When entering Kingston house I signed in and the came up to the Youth Enterprise office where I was greeted by Mike and Charles. After that I was shown around by Mike who showed me all of the fire exits and told me what precautions I had to take. When returning back to the office Charles had lined me up to attend a meeting with different sections of the Council and discussed the LEP and scrutiny which overall I found very boring and pointless. For me, I believed the meeting was not interesting but good for the experience. The meeting was very sophisticated and really I didn’t understand much of it. Subsequently, I went out for dinner and when I returned Lee Pearson from Malet was there who was attending to discuss a task that Mike had allowed Lee and I to do. The task was to try and earn more money for the GEW event in November. On that day Lee and I decided that the most efficient thing to do was to just go out onto the town streets and generally ask small businesses if they would like to sponsor any prises for the kids in GEW. On that day we wasn’t as successful as we wanted to be however, we did have many people interested, therefore we would follow this up on the following days.



Day 2 - On the second day I came in late due to having to attend a Vivergo Fuels meeting at the Saltend Chemical Park. Two other students and I were attending on behalf of Malet Lambert Students. When we get there we were met be Esther who told us what we were doing. We were handing out safety leaflets to the people getting onto the coach to travel up to the Vivergo fuels tent who were given a brief of what’s happening and how and where their money is going. After handing out the leaflets we travelled up to the tent and listened to the pitches and interviews that they had to offer. Personally I found it quite interesting but then started to bore me. The best thing was I actually understood what they were talking about due to the renewable energy project we did at school. After that I went to the Youth Enterprise office again where Mike has already had some tasks aligned up for me. The first one was to research another game / Icebreaker for the GEW events in November. I did think of some creative games however not all of them were suitable to play around a table. So we came up with the most creative and unusual games and just before the event in November I will be pitching them to the GEW organisers. After this I went to dinner and then was put up to another big task which was to clean up the store cupboard. That took me the rest of the afternoon in which I had been crushing boxes and also moving them so there was more space for more brochures.



Day 3 – On the third day I was set 1 task but then told that if I had some work for my business that I needed to be getting on with I should. The only task of the day must have been one of the worst as I had to clean 30 mugs for the Women’s Enterprise Meeting. It wasn’t bad that I had to wash the mugs; it was that in some of the mugs because they had been left so long there was mould on them. It was disgusting but my suspicion was that they all belonged to one person. Charles! So I got on with my tasks so they would be ready for the women to use at the meeting. I started at 9 and finished at 9:45. I actually took my time and tried not to think about the mould and finished 15 minutes before the meeting, which I was very pleased about. After that I got on with my business work and got on with the GEW designs, the Wigan Warriors designs and finally the Leeds Rhinos designs. From this for the GEW design as there was so many different colours I had to simple it down so they price would be less. So I tweaked the logo and tried to find out a price for them. Afterward, I went for dinner and arrived back just before Lee who was again helping me raise some more money for the GEW event. So we set off back the Brooks the shop that had told us to return when the manager had come back; so we did. Lee and I talked to the manager who was more than pleased to give something for the even so we received a £20 gift voucher for the Malet event. We was off to a god start. Then after being refused several times we thought we would go to Mad Dog Music who said they would give £20 for the event too. This is looking very good for the GEW event but even better we then went to The Uniform Shop who wanted to give the event £200 which Lee and I was very pleased with, and that was our day.
