Having been brought up in a business oriented family it has always been an interest in mine to constantly think of new business ideas and one of them was to go into the business of chemical recycling since my family is in the line of chemical trading. Some ideas of mine in the past have been outrageous and some require huge amount of risk and capital. I was hoping by landing a placement in your company perhaps i can further develop my entrepreneur skills and perhaps make a contribution to your growing organisation.
