After completing the programme of training, Andy underwent two days of intense assessment at Škoda’s Milton Keynes headquarters including a number of role play scenarios which were filmed, and culminated in a presentation of his business improvement project proposal to a panel of judges including Tony Slack, Managing Director, Škoda area Manager and Senior Development Staff examiners. Director of Škoda UK Rod McLeod said that he had received ‘extremely positive feedback’ on Andy’s performance and passed on his personal congratulations on a ‘fantastic achievement’.
