I worked for Fujitsu over two consecutive summers during the summer breaks of my university studies.During both periods of my employment at Fujitsu, organising and updating the transport and communications network for the company. This required co-ordination within a team of seven individuals to maintain over 1000 vehicles. One task of mine was to reduce transport costs. With a keen eye for detail I located any unused vehicles and resulted in saving the company £50,000 a month.
