My internship with Permira was incredible. Despite being nervous, I’ve been able to build up a network who can support me in my aspiration to work in the investment sector. I’ve learnt more about what it’s like to work in the sector and I’ve developed my networking skills by meeting people around the company. - Will, Bexhill
