What do students say?

 

“Just want to say a massive thank you for today’s talks. You are definitely a role model to look up to and you are full of drive which really motivates me to succeed and become independent. Your talk was fab, for the Challenge, we are planning to do a fashion show in Jan or early Feb, and I was wondering if you could help us with getting people to attend, as your talk and enthusiasm will really get us the people. It would be much appreciated, and we are willing to do what it takes to ensure we succeed. Again a huge thank you for all you have done" Sofia

 

“Faye’s support with our students’ enterprise club has been invaluable. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and huge network of contacts has seen our students engaging with employers at an unprecedented level so much so that we have had to create new policies to allow students to work as “apprentices” to local entrepreneurs. They bring a bright teen perspective on web and product development and sales. Her work specifically in linking us to the Entrepreneurs Ladder network founder and their first Working woman expo was a key factor in us beating stiff competition from 2000 other businesses to secure the accolade of Make Your Mark school enterprise club of the year.” Kathy McKay, Head of Business & Enterprise
