School governor and former chairman of Kenilworth Chamber of Trade Richard Hales has been selected in the role, which he will start in the new year.

His job will be to encourage people from Kenilworth businesses to come into the school and talk about their respective fields, as well as testing the pupils with mock interviews.

“In the coming months, through our partnership with the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership, we will welcome industry champions who will provide valuable support to students in this area’.
