Sebastian Drewes      August 2004 - October 2004

During my practical training I was attached to the Consumer Goods Department. There I worked in the warehouse for a few days and assisted the sales staff during customer visits including restaurants, bars, hotels and supermarkets.

My main task however, was to do a feasibility study on an Australian franchising system. I observed the Singapore sales market carefully and spoke to several representatives of possible target groups. I had meetings with chefs of the best hotels in Singapore , Marketing Managers of several companies and advertising agencies. During these meetings and through research in the Internet, I got a general overview of how the franchise business would work in Singapore .

Altogether my practical training in Singapore was a fantastic experience. For me it was a great introduction to the Asian business culture. I had my own project and worked independently. Due to research and a lot of customer contacts I started to understand the opportunities but also the difficulties of the Singapore market.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to do such training.

I really acquired a taste of Asia and I am looking forward to coming back soon!

First of all, I would like to thank all of you who offered your time and patience to deliver me a great insight into the C. Melchers Group of Companies in Singapore . I am also grateful to the management for giving me the opportunity to complete my apprenticeship at C. Melchers in the first place.

During my time with C. Melchers, I have learned a great deal, be it knowledge concerning the business world or social skills. I have also gained a better understanding of what it means to be a distributor, especially one as interesting and diverse as C. Melchers.

I will leave this company with a lot of positive and unforgettable memories, in particular the organization of the groundbreaking ceremony of the Sky Tower during my attachment with Melchers Project Management.

All these experiences have surely developed me into a more independent person and will help me in future endeavors. I hope that I was also able to repay some of what the company has given to me during my two-years stay.

I wish all at C. Melchers a successful, joyous and harmonious future ahead.

Time flies…two years are over.

I still remember my first day at C. Melchers GmbH & Co., Singapore , I was a bit nervous and anxious of what I would be expecting. But thanks to you I found it relatively easy to fit in.

Two years of amazing and unforgettable memories will stay with me forever and wherever I go. I enjoyed being here and learned a lot. I experienced the different living cultures, enjoyed the great variety of food, met a lot of interesting people, people come and go and now it is time for me to leave.

These two years in C. Melchers GmbH & Co. gave me the opportunity to get a peek into the working life and I am sure with a good base foundation, it will help me with my upcoming studies and future career path. The most interesting was to see the different working styles and structures in each department since we trainees are able to gain a bit of experience out of every section.

Therefore I would really like to thank all of you for making these two years fulfilling ones for me and turning it into one of the greatest experiences in my life.

No “Good-Bye” but “Aufwiedersehen”.
