AN INTERN at Wasdell has won herself a job with the firm a year ahead of graduating from university in 2019.

Pearlicia Braganca, 21, from Swindon, is studying for a BSC in IT management at the University of the West of England and was required to work on a year’s placement as part of their course.

While at the pharmaceutical logistics company she developed a bespoke entry and security tracking system for staff in the warehouse, which transports restricted and controlled pharmaceutical products.

Peal said: “I didn’t expect to find a placement here in Swindon where I could develop my skills; I thought I would have to go elsewhere. I’m very glad to be at Wasdell as I’ve learnt a lot and I’m proud that I can put this on my CV as well as know I have a job to return to after my course.”

Pearl was part of the fourth set of interns, with course mate Paul Davis, 28, that have been placed with Wasdell. The interview process is taking place for next year's intake

Martin Tedham, managing director of Wasdell, added: “Wasdell is set to grow rapidly over the next few years and so it is important for us to be able to secure the best talent as early as possible.

“Paul and Pearl have both developed systems for us that are already proving immensely useful and we are sure that they will prove to be indispensable members of the team when they return permanently next year.”
