This led on to the establishment of Class Of Your Own® as a social business, and the development of the Design Engineer Construct!® (“DEC!”) Learning Programme, now one of the the UK’s most respected through-school programmes for the Built Environment.Moving into the role of Chief Executive allows me to take COYO and DEC! to the next level, supporting industry leaders to embed the programme into their Learning and Development and recruitment strategies, and increasing social mobility through transformational education. I look forward to the future, working with a host of progressive organisations in achieving a vision to inspire all young people to reach their full potential through world class education and opportunity.
