The workshops, which included building resilience, bid-writing and digital transformation, made me look at my business differently and I have made positive changes as a result. Being able to tap into the brilliant expertise of Kingston University and connect with a network of similar-minded creative professionals and academics has been really beneficial and resulted in more opportunities opening up.”
