CLUB NEWS & VIEWS Volunteers Professional Networking

(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.

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

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.

South African Rep. All OMs welcome so long as they confirm their intention of attending before that date.

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.

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.

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 The date for this year’s Reception is Thursday 12 September. An invitation will be sent in due course.

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.
