ADI graduate & entrepreneur talks business with Sir Richard Branson
Wednesday 8 February 2012
UEL journalism graduate and aspiring businesswoman Ashley-Rae Tapping was flown out to Johannesburg recently to meet with Sir Richard Branson and to take part in a Virgin Media Pioneers scheme at the South African Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship.
The 23-year-old former UEL student launched fashion label, Loud Culture, with her friend Abi Fashesin in June last year. Since then the company has gone from strength to strength, with designs worn by Misha B on X Factor and appearing across a range of media from magazines like More and Look to the national press.
The Chingford-based entrepreneur met Sir Richard after winning a competition with Virgin Media Pioneers, an online community set up for young entrepreneurs to learn new skills, share ideas and network. For further information, click here
