Ford Campbell has launched an internship programme, giving budding business brains the chance to win £1,000. They are offering three graduates or postgraduates the opportunity to join its deal origination team for six weeks this summer, beginning in July.

The placements will include two weeks' intensive marketing, research analysis and sales training. The aim is to give the interns experience of a fast-paced business culture and to equip them with the skills they need to pursue careers in corporate finance.

Partner Neil Worsley said: "We are hoping that these internships will enable us to identify the Ford Campbell partners of the future, so we are looking for applications from only the most exceptional graduates and postgraduates that the north west has to offer.

"At a time when valuable career-enhancing opportunities for graduates are being squeezed on a daily basis, we recognise the importance of allowing individuals an insight into the business world. The £1,000 prize fund that we are offering is our way of acknowledging the impact on our business that we are hoping for from our interns."
