Exploring Business in London

Begin the day at the live factory and fashion studio. This hands-on visit offers business management students a unique insight into real-world production processes, from industrial cutting and stitching to quality control and product development. You'll also explore the Fashion Studio and Pattern Room, where high-street garments are brought to life. The afternoon continues with a visit to YumBug, a pioneering edible insect start-up. You'll take part in a tailored 20- minute talk covering topics such as marketing strategies for alternative proteins, sustainable supply chains, or the founder's entrepreneurial journey. Followed by a 30-minute interactive workshop, you'll either pitch a marketing campaign (with a prize for the best idea) or design your own cricket-based snack. The session wraps up with a tasting menu - three plates, dessert, and a drink - bringing together innovation, sustainability, and business in a truly memorable experience.

End the trip with an Unseen Tour, a guided walk through London led by formerly homeless individuals who share unique insights into the city and their personal experiences. More than a walking tour, this is a powerful lesson in social enterprise - showing how lived experience can drive meaningful business models that create real social value. Students will explore themes like social impact, inclusive leadership, and ethical entrepreneurship, gaining a deeper understanding of how business can be used as a force for change. With routes through areas like Soho, King's Cross, London Bridge, and Brick Lane, each tour offers a fresh perspective on London while reinforcing key business management themes in a real-world context.
