Public Lecture 'The Antidote to Black Swans' next week on Monday 14th October with speaker John Mark Williams, CEO at Agile Business Consortium - also one of our own graduates, with an MBA in Business Studies.

Lecture synopsis: Calamitous events, alarmingly, have a habit of being unexpected. Financial crashes, natural disasters, infectious diseases, the failure of household names from the High Street – all seem to take us unawares and leave us scrambling to catch up with the pace of collapse. Yet, whilst we cannot see the future, we can prepare for it. John Williams looks at the sudden, unexpected, and sometimes ruinous situations that we call, metaphorically, ‘Black Swans’, and how their impact can be lessened, or even exploited for good.

Student entrepreneur launches business with social mission

A student at Northumbria University has launched his first business with a social mission to help raise awareness of ocean pollution and save marine life.

Nathan Smith, 21 from York, is a second year student on the Entrepreneurial Business Management (EBM) programme at Newcastle Business School.

Following a trip to Thailand last summer, he was struck by the level of rubbish and plastics littering beautiful beaches and wondered how he could encourage people to clean up and raise awareness of ocean pollution.

In response, he’s set up OceanJunkie, a social enterprise which recycles discarded fishing nets into bracelets. The money raised from bracelet sales is then reinvested to help organise and fund community beach clean ups along the North East Coast in a bid to reduce ocean pollution and encourage conservation activities.
