‘I have been a partner with Spark for a while and had quite a number of students doing work experience with London School of Diving. Very often, I would give them a marketing project to run on their own, which gave an immediate responsibility and valuable experience to students. At the same time, what I found to be extremely beneficial for my business is the increased awareness and participation from ‘16-20’ segment who form a significant part of our target audience. I am happy with this win-win scenario which I am getting from working with Spark!.’
Nick Mobley, owner of the London School of Diving
