Ben Askins Careers Talk – Sep 2022
Last week we met and heard from 2022 Forbes 30 under 30 recipient Mr Ben Askins, an OW and now Owner of luxury digital agency Verb Brands. He spoke to students about entrepreneurship and life skills needed beyond School. It was a great opportunity to showcase our newly renovated Science Lecture Theatre which now features 9-way video wall, speakers and lectern as well as new LED lighting with various functions and acoustic panels installed on the walls.
Mr Stuart Richardson organised the event. He took time to explain how he plans to work with OWs and students over the coming months. Speaking about the event he said, “It was great last week to welcome Ben Askins OW to talk about his exciting business ventures in the new Science Lecture Theatre.”
He continued, “In 2023, I am also hoping to arrange for more OW talks for students, with an emphasis on environment-based jobs as well as alternative careers paths like apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships. It is never too early to start thinking about careers and as the old adage states, ‘choose a career you love and you will never have to go to work!'”
