We are honoured to be hosting a stimulating event with The Furniture Makers Company. The evening will be centred on life after university and how to effectively use those treasured design skills to enter the world of work.
The Young Furniture Makers Networking Event will be led by three of the most influential and inspiring names in the furniture industry. They will be discussing their own career paths, detailing how they made their mark on the design market as well as offering guidance on career options post-graduation. This event will offer all attendees a great opportunity to network with like-minded people as well as gaining some valuable advice on starting your career in design.
We are proud to be welcoming Matt Podesta, Nick Anderson and Alex Beaugeard to our Nottingham based academy. Each speaker will deliver an inspirational and stimulating presentation.
