Amazing photos from last week's Maritime Heritage / Maritime Futures 'Float Your Boat' event at the Maritime Museum on the Albert Dock in Liverpool! 🎉

For the past six weeks, our Level 3 Business students have been hard at work on a marketing project focused on the maritime sector.

Last week, their efforts culminated in our finalists presenting their campaigns to a panel of industry leaders from Peel Ports, Mersey Maritime, Visit Liverpool, and more.

Our outstanding students included:
⭐ Leah Edwards-Ollier ⭐ Joel Freeman-Creighton ⭐ Logan Shaw & Zak Adams ⭐ Ella Mercer & Alisha King

The room was packed, and the judges were blown away by the confidence and professionalism of our students. Special shoutout to Leah Edwards-Ollier for a polished campaign that the judges mistook it for professional work!

Although Steve Rotherham couldn't attend, the students had a special lunch with the Lord Mayor of Liverpool on board 'The Danny,' practising their networking skills and making valuable connections. Joel left such an impression that the Lord Mayor offered to recommend him to the University of Liverpool!

Well done everyone!
