Thank you to former students Will Graulich, Milly Boughton, Sam Tyler and Jess Vaughan for returning to King's to inspire the current generation of students. Speaking about their lives running small businesses, the Club 1541 members were very honest and gave a real account of what life is like as the boss, both the positives and the challenges.

Thank you also to our excellent host, current parent Martyn Gill, who lead the night, kept it flowing and helped to ask the many questions posted by the audience.

About our speakers:
