Having completed the first stage, neither is disappointed. Burridge, who will take a career break by travelling to Thailand and Australia before rejoining Ladbrokes, said: "Racing is my sport and my passion, and while I realise that racing and betting go hand in hand, I've seen things in a different light from hearing industry experts talking about the various issues, especially over the levy. "The initial course was excellent and I'm sure the rest of the programme will be the same, which will help my personal development, and that in turn can only build my experience when I go back to Ladbrokes next spring." Macdonald has worked for the Tote for four and a half years, including parttime while at Lancaster University, but she is back in a new guise. She explained: "So far, I've worked on the retail side, but the placement means I will be totally involved with marketing, which is what I want to do, so being on the graduate programme has enabled me to get where I wanted to be. "I learned so much in the first two weeks of the course that it's easier coming back to the Tote, because I'm more knowledgeable. Maybe I'll be able to stay in marketing when my six weeks are finished." CAPTION(S): Louise Macdonald and Elaine Burridge completed first stage of course |
