Hi there,

I have my induction day at the B.M.C tomorrow so we may be on the same one, Im also nervous, but just trying to keep in mind everyone has been the new person before. I'm sure it'll be fine and not too taxing, could be massively wrong though!!

The most taxing thing about the Induction Day is staying awake :wink:

You will learn a fair bit about the company, but next to nothing about doing the job itself. It should be pretty relaxed, no need to have any worries.

Yes, if you're going by train keep hold of your tickets and claim at your office. For train travel I would imagine you get
the actual value of the tickets, for car travel it's 45p per mile.
