It was my pleasure to mentor Lauren during her final year at the University of Wolverhampton. She was totally focussed on gaining a first class degree with the ambition of eventually obtaining a senior management position. I have no hesitation in giving her a strong recommendation.

1st class Business Management (Enterprise) degree with honours. This was achieved through dedication and hard work. I have supported myself through university by working in demanding customer facing roles and in doing so, gained valuable customer experience. I also participated in a university mentoring scheme run by the Institute of Directors locally and gained some valuable practice tips on how best to hit the ground running. 1st class Business Management (Enterprise) degree with honours.
