It was fantastic to welcome the Canterbury Business Show to our campus yesterday.

Taking place in our Sibson building, home to the Kent Business School, the event brought together ambitious businesses from around Canterbury and nearby towns for a day of networking, learning and more.

It was great to meet everyone and our Event Coordinator Lara was on hand throughout the day.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming the UK University Search Fair back to our Canterbury campus.

The Spring Fair was the perfect way for future students to meet universities and apprenticeship providers and work out which option is right for them.

Lara and Katherine did a great job coordinating the event in the lead up and on the day, working closely with the organisers and our on-site teams to ensure everything went smoothly.
