The Experts

Click here to find out more about experts supporting FLUX this year

Our business experts come from a wide range of roles and businesses, private and public sector as well as from charities and community organisations. Their expertise falls within one or more of the areas key to running a successful business: human resources, strategic planning, operational management or 'actions', marketing and finance.

"Very rewarding to guide and encourage young minds and also gratifying that I am actually able to help. I also found it useful as a networking point particularly as the event was held locally and many local business execs attended"
Gavin Mitchell, Head of Supply Chain, Ginsters

During the Final of FLUX you will work with the experts in two capacities:

• Expert meetings - as a part of the process of developing your business plan you will meet the experts in short business meetings. You'll be able to ask questions on specific parts of your business and get advice on moving your business ideas forward. You're assessed as part of this but essentially, at this stage, the experts are on your side.

• Pitching - once you have met the experts they take on the role of 'business dragons', to whom you must pitch your business idea. In this capacity, the experts will want to test your ideas as well as assessing your ability to persuade them to invest.

Some of the experts will be participating in FLUX to identify potential recruits.
