  • Shamit Raja, Data Analyst - Capital One
    It was great to see the outputs from the children over the two days and I thought there were some amazing presentations and also feel like many of the kids would have left the days having learnt some good things.

  • Jordan-Lee Reddington, Head of Growth & Analytics - Stasher
    A great privilege to be involved in a positive initiative looking to connect all the wonderful elements of data with future talent - a unique experience to see it delivered on such scale and rewarding to see the engagement and enthusiasm of the young students whilst giving something back to the community.

  • Luke Chamberlain, Head of Data – Home Emergency Assist
    Volunteering has shown me that the best way to learn is to teach. I came away with knowledge of the next generation of data professionals, with insights that reflected trends when managing, and informed me of what I can do as a hiring manager to adapt and build the next successful data function within a business. DigData are doing an amazing job of nurturing future talent and providing an opportunity for employers to play their part, at the same time as getting a step ahead for preparing to welcome these students into the workplace in the coming years.

  • Mark Allen, Head of Data Governance, Business Continuity and RCSA – Capital One
    Brilliant way to spend 2 days changing young lives for the better.

  • Lynsey Marshall, Head of Data Adoption – Marks and Spencer
    I was blown away by the creativity and effectiveness of the presentations, it was exciting to see them story tell with data and communicate their findings clearly. This is one of the skills we are constantly working on in M&S with our teams. I hope the teachers are helping the pupils recognise that these less-technical data skills are very much in-demand in the workplace and will help set them apart in the future.
    Lynsey Marshall, Head of Data Adoption – Marks and Spencer
  • Lisa Allen, Director of Data & Services – Open Data Institute
    Such a great day and brilliant to be able to inspire the next generation.
