2007

As Made in Brunel turned two, a fresh group of enthusiastic students headed up the team and set out to make the show bigger and better than 2006. They had some pretty big boots to fill!

Simon Gilbert and Jordon Chitty did a fantastic job of keeping everyone on the straight and narrow, as well as further building Made in Brunel as an international brand with the links with Tsinghua in China and the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. Sir Digby Jones, Joe Ferry, Marco Fainello and many other high profile speakers joined us for a little show and tell event called Pecha Kucha.

The event as a whole was a huge success, thanks to the students of 2007. I wonder what they’re up to now?
