Edward Tayles

After finishing my A-Levels, I set off to go to University to study Maths & Business. However, after completion of my first year I made the decision not to continue as I hadn't enjoyed myself and didn't believe I was getting an education worth the money I was paying. So I thought I'd be better off trying to go straight into the workplace. Since leaving, I've been doing lots of casual work as I haven't found a role that really suits me and my skills. I've always been really good with numbers and computers and enjoyed those parts of school. Hence, taking an interest in finance, business and computing sectors. 

In my spare time, I also organise music events for my own brand Summerhouse LDN Ltd. This allowed me to learn and enhance new skills. My responsibilities have included: taking care of the finances, negotiating with suppliers and contractors and managing event timelines.
