Banyards MD Nick Till Helps Inspire Students at The Petersfield School
Nick, along with several other business leaders, shared his professional journey and insights with a group of 50 students, encouraging them to explore their passions and make connections between their schoolwork and potential future careers. The interactive session was tailored to the young audience, focusing on making complex business concepts accessible to students. Nick emphasised the importance of dreaming big, overcoming challenges, and recognising the value of failures in shaping a successful career.
During his thirty-minute presentation, Nick shared his company’s promotional video and followed this up with stories of both his achievements and obstacles he encountered on his path. He highlighted key moments in his career that shaped his direction and discussed how the skills he developed in supported his growth in the business world. Following his talk, students eagerly asked questions, ranging from “Did you always know what you wanted to be?” to “What’s the best part about your job?” and “What advice would you give to your younger self?”
Nick’s emphasis on making education relevant to the real world resonated with the students, as he explained how subjects like maths and English have played critical roles in his professional development. “You may not realize it now,” he told them, “but the lessons you’re learning in the classroom are laying the foundation for your future careers.”
Daniel Currie, a teacher at The Petersfield School, expressed his appreciation for Nick’s contribution. “Hearing directly from professionals like Nick helps our students see the broader opportunities available to them beyond the classroom,” Currie noted. “It’s not just about learning; it’s about being inspired.”
The session concluded with Nick encouraging students to pursue their interests with curiosity and persistence. He also shared his thoughts on essential skills for the modern workforce, such as communication, adaptability, and a growth mindset.
Founders4Schools, the organization behind this initiative, connects schools with business leaders to help students better understand the opportunities available to them. By facilitating these career-focused activities, Founders4Schools aims to bridge the gap between education and the job market.
