OCBS: Career Stages and Pivoting 

The OCBS: Career Stages and Pivoting event provided a great space for OCs to learn from each other and network. Blaise Boulton (TL 2008) and Alberto Fraquelli (TL 2005) spoke with the group about their experiences with pivoting their careers and answered questions to help others take the next step in their career change. 

The group had a mixture of OCs in different stages of pivoting - many wanting to pivot, others who have taken the first step but want to know what to do next, and a few who have already done it and might do it again! Everyone was so engaged and there was a real sense that the evening provided clarity and motivation for so many of the audience. It may have been the pizza and wine also, but such was the atmosphere that the group had to be asked to leave, at gone 10pm on a school night! 

Finally, thank you to our speakers and to Ollie Bishop (SH 1995) and TIPi for hosting.  Looking forward to the OCBS social in May, details will emerge soon! 

OCBS Sustainability: Cultivating Connections Mixer

The 8th of May saw a brilliant OC event, the OCBS Sustainability: Cultivating Connections Mixer.  OCs had the great opportunity to network and engage with the OC Business Section.

Thank you Max Jamilly (WG 2010) and Ed Steele (HG 2010) for hosting a fun and fascinating evening at Hoxton Farms. It seemed that everyone loved hearing about the growth of the company, its future, the contribution to sustainable food production (and taste!). And the tour of the labs was mind blowing!
