Thanks for the quick reply!
I didn't think of the days off before the block. So you get 5x 12 days off potentially every year. Thats great. On paper 25 days looks low. But this must be one, if not the best leave deal in the UK.
Lets hope I perform on the day

The first phase is worked on a points based system with popular days like Christmas attracting more points. The lower your points are, the higher chance you have of getting what you want.
There is LOL (which you can top up through the benefits system) and death in service benefit.
