TESTIMONIALS FROM THE TEAM
What attracted me to Toyota was the positive work-life balance, as well as the fact that they are a large company with a good brand in a stable industry. I have had some really good training on their inhouse PLC which was excellent and the plan is to continue developing new skills. The people are friendly and they appreciate your hard work.
