Sadly our man Anthony has gone back to America. We can't thank him enough for all his hard work over the past few months, we will miss you. On the other hand he has been replaced with his American friend, Duncan Persons.  Dunc is an amazing photographer, web designer and sound engineer. He would also like to make clear his name is NOT Dustin. There's also 2 random work experience students here New main series episode coming soon

Chris has performed wonders with the Irish Social Enterprise Network, not only has he managed to build a network of likeminded people but he has also placed special emphasis on including people into the network. He has walked on glass, he has walked on leg, he has walked on fire but can he handle the rapid fire questions???
