I joined the karting society during 2015 freshers week, and then was part of Cov’s British Universities Karting Championship team from 2015-2018. In that time, I was President for a year and gained us Phoenix Academy status. 

I enjoyed being part of a group where we all shared a common interest, so the road trips to BUKC events were a highlight. Different freshers coming in every year changed up the dynamic so it felt like a new club every year! Since graduating, I’ve worked at Grenade and Built for Athletes - and I’ll soon be starting a new role at Ignition Collective, activating Ford’s F1 sponsorship of Oracle Red Bull Racing. From the cold mornings at Whilton Mill in the BUKC, to flying around the world attending Grand Prix’s!

How cool is that?! Ben's not the only alum getting up to exciting things these days. Read about what Gintare (basketball) and Millie (netball) are up to!
