Graduate Story

“I set up Woolpit Clinics in 2013 for my mother, with the intention to return to ‘my own thing’ once it had become established. At the time, I was working in London, for a company publishing live music magazines and hosting events. After a year of trying to work both at the practice and in live music, I resigned from my job in the city. Working in Woolpit Clinics as general manager took a lot of adjustment and research.”
