\u201cThe Pitch It! event has been incredibly useful for us. It has given us an insight into a real business and has allowed us to analyse and look into key aspects of the company. It was really useful and really fun too!\u201d Fern Davis, Year 2 Business and Management<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a third year student I have given a lot of presentations but today we\u2019ve probably received the best constructive criticism; the feedback has really helped us. We now know how important is to do your background research very thoroughly\u201d. \u00a0Thomas Pleasant, Year 3 Accounting & Management<\/b><\/p>\n
