Pitch 4 Change Birmingham

Thu 10 Dec 2009

On Thursday 10th December five successful teams of student applicants from Envision’s Birmingham programme pitched their plans for social and environmental projects to a panel of ‘Dragons’ in the hope of being awarded up to £500 to turn their ideas into reality.

Each team of students had 10 minutes to pitch their project with a further 15 minutes allocated to the panel for questions.
 
Pitch 4 Change was a brilliant chance for teams of Envision teams to extend the scale of their projects and be ambitious in their planning. The teams pitching also benefited hugely from the process of preparing a professional pitch and having to present in front of experts and their peers.
 
We had a fantastic panel for students to pitch to;

  • Damian Carvill – Marketing Manager for Packt Publishing
  • Jackie Ridge - Managing Director of Preston UK
  • Sarah Robinson  - Foundation Manager for Cooperative Group
  • Stephen Haselden– MD of OzoneBus and Executive of Rotala PLC
  • Simon Cox – Waste Water Services Director for Severn Trent
