Glen Bryan
Glen is 22 years old and is a very conservative person at first impressions, but this changes after a few minutes.
His aim in life is to be a successful entrepreneur and he has already taken important steps in that direction. He has taken part in various voluntary activities such as Save the Children Foundation in Zanzibar (East Africa), fundraising activities in his local community on behalf of his church and has recently started his SAC project with an exciting team. His SAC project is working in partnership with the “Reachout Charity” delivering this programme to 14-16 year olds teaching them the transferrable skills important in their later careers.
Away from that I am currently studying HR & Business Management at the University of East London where I am in my final year. I have a keen interest in business women & men and I hope to have a mentor that shares my passion. This will enable me to gain knowledge of do’s and don’ts when setting up a business, barriers I may most definitely will face, solutions on how to overcome these and how to take an initial idea to the next step.
In life I have a few people who inspire me, one is my Aunty, others include public figures such as Sir Allen Sugar, Peter Jones, Boris Johnson and Roy Jones Junior. These are people who in my opinion have achieved a great deal in life and have been great motivators for me as I aspire to hopefully be on their level in some way or another.
