How I Learned More From a Student's Question Than Any Book or Class
A Nostalgic Trip Last week I had the overwhelming honour, and honest pleasure of attending a lecture at my not-so-distant, beloved University of Sussex. However, I was no longer a student of the University. No, not at all — I had been invited as a guest, as a presenter, as a role model. On the way down to the University (approximately a 4-hour train journey from my current place of work), my brain was filled with excitement. Not only was I getting to return to a nostalgic environment – one where I truly grew from a boy to a man, but I was being given the opportunity to meet the new cohort of students who were currently studying on the course that I had just graduated from. The pleasure was furthered as I was attending this lecture alongside some fabulous role models of mine. David Hix (Supply Chain Director, UK&I), Matt Beddoe (Head of Procurement UK&I), Robin Sundaram (Head of Responsible Sourcing and Milk Buyer) and Ana-Maria Velicia (Head of Commercial Procurement). To say the least, I was excited, but perhaps a more accurate description, utterly terrified!
