Year 12 Business Breakfast – Collegians share their success and tribulations of starting their own business

On Thursday 6 May, we had a number of Collegians come together to share their success and tribulations of starting their own business with Year 12 students at a Business Breakfast.
The session was organised by Alison Stevens (Head of SOSE and class of 1994).

We thank the diverse range of Collegians who gave back in their time to share their insight into starting a business with the students and the opportunity for students to network with them.
