Testimonials from Teachers

"From the outset Callum drew my attention with his entrepreneurial, forward thinking and unblinkered approach to the choices he could make for his own future, as well as selflessly helping others explore their own opportunities. As an ambassador for the Seckford Foundation’s Springboard mentoring he was amazing. With a relatively short time to prepare, he fully embraced the whole ethos, vision and message of the mentoring programme he was with us to promote. A star performance for the faultless live interview on the BBC too."

– Jenny Stockman, Youth Opportunity Manager, Ixworth School

"Callum presented at our Careers Day. He spoke with great confidence and in a way that meant he connected with our students. A fantastic role model for young people and for those who don’t always have the easiest routes to success."

– Mark Barrow, Chief Operating Operator & Head Master, Seckford Education Trust

"Callum engaged with our younger students on a unique level that I have not seen before. Callum delivered a speech to our 16-18 year old students, who many have come from disadvantaged backgrounds. His style of speaking and personal story, resonated with the students to a visible effect. For a 19 year old his outlook on life is unique and very powerful"

– Thomas Smith, Business Lecturer, SNC

"The event was a success and Callum pitched his message well. In fact an audience member approached him to speak at their school!"

– Nigel Willingham, Headteacher, St Clements’s High School
