As part of our Minerva lecture series, yesterday pupils heard the inspiring journey of Kathryn Burn, BBC’s The Apprentice Finalist.

With a mission to ignite ambition in students, Kathryn shared her remarkable odyssey “From bedroom to boardroom.” Ambitious and hardworking, she transformed a £50 budget from Australia into the thriving business, My Christmas Pyjamas. While globetrotting for inspiration, Kathryn’s entrepreneurial spirit soared, and in just five years, her seasonal business turned over six figures.

Now expanding into an all-year-round range, Pyjamily, Kathryn’s lecture resonated with challenges conquered and entrepreneurial traits. Students left motivated, armed with the belief that anything is possible with determination.
