Events
14 June 6:00 PM; The Business Clinic at Northumbria University, marketing students benefitting from experiential learning; this event in conjunction with the CIM will present two case studies: Special iApps and Parker.
The presentations will show how partnerships have developed between the Business Clinic and their clients. In particular, how marketing students have profited from experiential learning, progressed and how talent has been nurtured.
Beverley Dean founded Special iApps, a not-for-profit social enterprise, in 2011 with her husband, Colin. Their younger son, William, was born in 2005 with Down syndrome and Hirschsprung’s disease. Bev recognised the potential of devices like the iPad for helping children with learning disabilities, but couldn’t find apps suitable for William, so she asked Colin to start writing some for him. Marketing students benefitted from experiential learning through the Business Clinic helping the SME to grow to what it is today through a number of projects.
Parker is the global leader in motion and control technologies, providing precision engineered solutions for Aerospace, Climate Control, Electromechanical and Filtration. Les Graham recently secured a job with the company, who he conducted a consultancy project for through the Business Clinic in 2015.
