STUDENTS from John Hanson Community School revelled in the opportunity to meet and listen to a former winner of BBC’s The Apprentice.

Mark Wright delivered a keynote speech to Year 11 business students courtesy of Be Wiser Insurance.

After the event he thanked Be Wiser for a really successful day.

“I was very impressed with the student’s enthusiasm and energy today,” he said.

“I hope they put their skills to good use in their future careers and remember to do something they really love.”

Mark won The Apprentice in 2014 and has since successfully launched his own digital marketing company Climb Online.

Be Wiser Insurance were the first major client of Climb Online and are continuing their business relationship to improve the digital presence of their Call Wiser site.

Crescens George, director of training and development at Be Wiser, said: “Be Wiser is pleased that through such initiatives we are able to engage with the local community and inspire young people. “We look forward to organising similar events in 2016."
