Student returns from working at Airbus
When Anthony Monks went on his Public Relations placement to Airbus at Broughton, near Chester, he knew his duties would be many and various.
But he didnít expect to be shoe-shine boy to VIP visitors!
During his placement, which is just coming to an end, Anthony has been involved in several VIP visits.
As well as helping out with Press packs; looking after film crews; setting up photographs and escorting journalists to press conferences, he has had to make sure that VIP footwear was up to scratch.
Alistair Darling
ìWhen MP Alistair Darling and the new CEO of Airbus, Louis Gallois, visited this winter one of my duties was to clean the safety boots they had to wear in the factory,î explains Anthony.
As well as a touch of spit and polish, other visit day tasks ranged from walking the visitorsí route with other communication officers; preparing safety equipment; setting up the reception room; making signs; taking notes of speeches; and making contacts with journalists. Everything bar make the tea!
He has also been involved with media training for management and a wide range of events from charity fund-raising to a presentation of gifts for a group of returned aviation workers.
ìWorking in a tightly knit team has been a great experience and my mentors have been fantastic,î says Anthony, who returns to his final studies in October.
He now hands over to fellow PR student Suelyn Howe, who is also set to fly high with Airbus on her placement from 2007-2008.
