Roll of Honour: Our Bursary Donors

Quintessentially Education

“As a specialist education advisory service, we are fully aware of the challenges that young people can face when trying to transition into the world of full time employment. After years of academic training, many need further support with realizing their full potential in the jobs market. We are proud to support such a worthy cause.”

“The future of a nation lies in the hands of its students. By supporting students, the destiny of the country is shaped.”

“You help so many young people to preparing them for the world of work and a wide variety of careers. Finito really makes things happen and it is incumbent on me to support you and to encourage others to follow my lead.”

“Finito works intuitively with young people to help them pinpoint the areas in which they can best excel and to move into fulfilling jobs. Their support of young people is invaluable. Lumos Education is committed to helping young people to access the best education opportunities. Finito helps them with their first step into the workplace. We are delighted to contribute to the Finito bursary for those who would not otherwise be able to afford this superb service.”

“As someone who benefited from the days when higher education and career advice was free, I feel the need to assist those who may not have the means to pay. I am pleased to donate a Finito bursary in the knowledge that it will give someone an advantage they might not otherwise have.”

“I served the Government’s advisory panel reviewing the future of technical education. During the two year process we met with hundreds of young people all over the country. I am delighted to support the work of Finito. The valuable work which you do strongly resonates with both students and their parents.”

“I find myself totally motivated to help young people needing a little extra support so that their jump into work is easier.”

“In a perfect world comprehensive career guidance would be available to all regardless of their background. The Stewarts Foundation is delighted to support the important work of Finito via its bursary scheme.”

“We are honoured to be working with Finito, who provide such a vital service to the younger members of our society. We would like to wish all Finito students the very best for their future endeavours.”

“In my long career mentoring young people, it fills me with enormous pride that I created employment for thousands of people at Addison Lee. Finito continues this important work and I am delighted to be a part of their team.”

“After completing their education, many students still flounder trying to secure a meaningful career. As an entrepreneur, philanthropist and thought leader, I have always felt a burden of responsibility to help champion and inspire the next generation.”

“As CEO of a UK education group, I fully appreciate how difficult it can be to take those first steps onto the career ladder, especially in the current volatile landscape of the pandemic. Hopefully, by supporting this initiative, we can help more individuals find the path that is right for them.”

“I am delighted to support Finito’s expertise which enables young people to access their dream career. So many students leave education without the skills they need to enter the world of work – they need Finito’s guidance now more than ever.”

“My work has enabled me to interact closely with senior State and Business sector representatives from more than 80 Countries on commercial and international disputes. It is a pleasure to work with Finito in providing opportunities to talented individuals who will hopefully, in turn, contribute meaningfully to society when they flourish in their chosen careers.”

“As a business owner, I often find myself mentoring students, school leavers and university graduates, many of whom are desperate for reassurance and guidance. Finito’s offering allows the sharing of invaluable insights, empowering youngsters in essential life values and reminding them the world is not as complex as portrayed – we’ve been their age before! Finito definitely put their money (and my own) where their mouth is!”

A special thank you from Dame Mary Richardson to our bursary donors

Having worked with young people all my life I cannot stress enough the importance of the Bursary scheme. I am very proud of what the company - and in particular Andy Inman - has achieved so far. But when I see how unequal our society is, I know that we have to do more. That is why I am so grateful to those who have already contributed to the expansion of this landmark project. And it is also why I am urging people reading this to consider making their own donation so that more people from difficult or underprivileged backgrounds may benefit from the unique service which Finito provides.
