NETWORKING & SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW
Students had time to network with the returning alumni over delicious refreshments served by our Catering Team who put on an amazing spread of food under the theme of ‘Farringtons favourites’. Students seized the opportunity to ask questions, gaining practical advice and industry knowledge before embarking on their post-school journeys.
Attendees particularly enjoyed the insightful interview conducted by Mr Jackson, which featured Daniel Akpan from MX Underwriting. This session provided students and parents with deeper, first-hand accounts of working life in underwriting.
