Last week I had a
wonderful opportunity to attend the summer garden party hosted by Prime
Minister, David Cameron, with my good friend Angela Barker-Dench, Principal of
UTC Swindon.
It was fantastic to
spend time with Angela on the day of the event, we had the perfect opportunity
to talk about the fantastic work she has done at UTC Swindon so far. From
hosting the Conservative Party manifesto at the college, to preparing some of
Swindon’s brightest for work and university, she is going along way to putting
Swindon back on the map.
The venue was a
perfect place to celebrate Angela’s achievements, as the garden was beautifully
decorated, alongside a selection of gorgeous drinks.
The evening also
saw a fantastic speech from Chancellor George Osborne, as well as and lovely
words from David Cameron. It was great to see Mr Cameron conducted himself with
the same grace and confidence that he saw through the General Election campaign.
Angela also had the
fabulous opportunity to speak one-on-one with George Osborne. They spoke about
how UTC Swindon has been performing in its debut academic year and their vision
of how the university technical college movement is going to impact the educational
system in the UK.
At the party it
gave me a fantastic chance to catch up with some key contacts. At high-profile
events it is an always great to opportunity to meet with and discuss a variety
of topics with likeminded people.
