Croydon student graduates from Dragon Peter Jones's school
10:30am Saturday 24th July 2010
Croydon student Ashley Leyton-McIntosh has become one of the first entrepreneurs to graduate from an academy set up by Dragon’s Den star Peter Jones.
The National Enterprise Academy (NEA) was opened in September 2009.
The student graduated at a gala ceremony at Manchester City Football Club.
Mr Jones said: “I’m so proud of the achievements of Ashley, who through her dedication and talent, has proved the true value of enterprise education.
“Enterprise is essential to the future success of the UK economy and that success starts with young people like Ashley.
“More than ever, we need entrepreneurs to stimulate economic growth, whilst both big and small businesses need inspired employees to help their companies innovate, grow and develop.”
