      I have been chairman of the Holdsworth Club (The University of Birmingham Law Society) the oldest law society in the UK for the past two years as well as being the first to be chair for two terms in the 87 year long history. I lead a committee of 11 with over 800 members currently studying at Birmingham Law School. This involved day to day leadership and organisation ensuring my fellow committee members had sufficient funding and support to ensure their events whether that be careers or social were being conducted successfully. I am also the first point of contact for the society with educational institutions, chambers and law firms providing a bridge between our sponsors and our members. One of my main responsibility has been to raise sponsorship to ensure our events have been able to run. I have raised over £17,000 in sponsorship which has amounted to an increase of 25% increase since 2013. In addition to this, I helped manage a budget of over £70,000 p/a. Show less
