This week we have been proud to host a Business Panel Event, bringing together some representatives of businesses across Liverpool for an extended Q&A session chaired by Tony McDonough, Business Correspondent for the Liverpool Echo.

Representatives on the panel included:

Dennis Phillips, Timpson
Andrew Dutton, Liverpool John Lennon airport
Alex Paterson, Veolia
Julie Anne Gillespie, Lloyds Banking Group
Jonathan Beckwith, Lloyds Banking Group
Tyrone Jones, DWF Law firm
John Wilkson, Acorn Environment
Kate Birkenhead, Jaguar Land Rover

The event involved a question and answer session regarding sustainability, tax, encouraging young people into the workforce and work experience opportunities. Following this a network session took place in the Cuvilly Dining room, to share ideas and build links and partnerships with key employers.

We were pleased to welcome students from four other schools from across the North West also attended the event. Feedback from each representative was very positive about the challenging questions asked by our students.

Thank you to Mrs Black and Mr Flanagan for helping to manage the event hosting, and of course we'd like to sincerely thank all of the business representatives who gave their time to join the panel.
