Guy continues:

“As a “Fruiterer” I am obviously really keen to help the company reach more students and tell them about this great prize. As a business MorePeople is passionate about our industry and developing a pipeline of talent not only for our clients but also for the overall industry. We are delighted, therefore, to help market this great initiative.”
