Tim Oliver, Leader of Surrey County
As a world-leading consumer health company with our Headquarters based in Surrey, we were excited to promote STEM careers and give back to the community.
Abeera Mohammad, STEM Lead at Haleon
I didn’t have a lot of things to help me to go where I wanted, but [the Multiply course] pushed me to find alternative routes. They taught me skills of dig deep, keep looking, just keep going, it will happen, you’ve just got to keep searching, it might take longer but you’ll get there. And how to barter, how to get things.
Rita, Owner of Rita Botanicals in Guildford
I love working in the fast food industry. As the name suggests, it’s really, really fast.
We can be really innovative, we can try new things. We have a customer base that is really interested in trying new things.
