Business students with Russell Greenslade

A visit from Russell Greenslade

We were delighted to welcome Russell Greenslade, CBI Director for Wales and member of the Sketty Hall Business School Advisory Board, to Gorseinon where he supported an Enterprise Workshop for Level 3 BTEC Business students.

The event was designed to help the students prepare for their individual Dragon's Den presentations for both an internal College Enterprise Competition and also their BTEC coursework assignment.

Russell is a former student of Gorseinon and also studied the Level 3 BTEC Business course so he was very keen to support the current students!
