Experience

A strong aptitude for research has enabled them to develop the instant expertise necessary to write authoritatively on over 50 different sports from figure-skating to dressage.
Finely-honed interviewing skills mean this Associate is as comfortable extracting information from Prime Ministers and FIFA General Secretaries as he was once ghosting a first-'person' article with a greyhound.
An excellent communicator, not just on paper but with presentation skills honed by regular TV, radio and podcast contributions.
The Cambridge Engineering degree focused on mechanical engineering but incorporated civil and electrical together with modules on accounting, marketing and economics. Alongside their ICI student sponsorship, it gave them substantial experience of a variety of real-world industrial situations.
