Professional Networking
Mike Peskin
(Burton Bank 80-84) Played for the OMs 1st XV Rugby team for more years than I care to remember, plus a bit of cricket for the OMs during the summer! This has created a fantastic network of life long friends, many of whom I am still in regular touch with.
I’ve worked in a Business Development role within the Construction Industry pretty much since leaving Mill Hill School nearly 35 years ago, and I’m keen to encourage the next generation entering the Property Industry to continue dialogue with fellow OMs also working within the same profession.
Caroline Hepker
(School House 93-95) I’ve been a journalist for 18 years and have hosted events about news and media for OMs. I enjoy speaking to younger Millhillians who are thinking of going into journalism as well as reconnecting with friends from school and networking.
I organise both the OMs in Property Annual Dinner and Informal Drinks, the latter held at Finos on Mount Street, W1. We have between 35-40 people in attendance at both these events and it’s always great to see some new younger faces present as well as many familiar faces.
If you’re interested in attending either or both of these gatherings, please do get in touch with me Michaelpeskin@hotmail.com
Andrew Millet
(Ridgeway 81-84) (Murray 84-86) Co-host (with Mike Solomons) the Accountancy Event. Reason why – I continue to have a great affinity and love for the school. Any opportunity to get OMs together chatting about old-times over a few beers is a good enough reason. It’s also a great opportunity for any 6th formers or recent alumni who are interested in joining the profession to network and meet others in the profession.
John Hellinikakis
(Murray 76-81) Professional Networking Event Co-Ordinator.
John S Parrott
(School House-Scrutton 50-55) South African Rep. All OMs welcome so long as they confirm their intention of attending before that date.
Clive Weber
(Ridgeway 65-69) Amongst the seniors in the house at that time was Nigel Wray. I organise an annual Reception for OM lawyers and potential lawyers including sixth formers and all OMs with an interest in law.
Gordon Mizner
(Murray 65-69) Engineers Dinner Host. OM Club President 2019/20. Active member of Golf Society.
Robert Priestley
(School House 70-72) I took over the organisation of the South West event in 2010 after moving from London to live in Devon, where I spent my childhood. I felt it was important to give my support to the Old Millhillians Club and living some distance from London, this was a good way to do so.
Mike Solomons
(Murray 79-84) I organise the OMS Accountancy drinks to help YOMs meet Accountants and other professionals from related professions so that they may network and gain assistance in their future careers.
Michael Wong
(McClure 76-83) City and Entrepreneurs Event.
Russell Cowan
(Weymouth 58-63) Medical Professions event, East Anglia Dinner organiser.
Tom Lincoln
(School House 98-03) Creative Networking event organiser.
Colin Nunn
(Burton Bank 74-81) Golfing Society Secretary since 1987. With 138 members the OMGS are a busy society with a great fixture list.
Justin Wernham
(Collinson 78-82) Australia Rep.
Nick Howe-Smith
(McClure 78-83) NZ OM Rep. since 1996.
Steven Chan
(Collinson House 95-99) Asia Pacific Rep, Hong Kong.
Raj Achan
(Ridgeway 85-91) Middle Eastern Rep.
Borg Tsien Tham
(Priestley 89-94) I was previously the OM overseas representative for Singapore and Russia. I accepted a recent offer by the club to become the OM overseas representative for Singapore because I view that the OMs in Singapore should be connected together.
