Guest Speakers from Jones Lang LaSalle pay a visit

Last week, A level and IB students of Economics, Business and Geography welcomed guest speakers from Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) to school.  

Sarah Hayes, Carys Allen, Paul Baker and Mike Henry presented detailed plans for the urban regeneration project at Temple Quay, in central Bristol, involving Bristol City Council and the University of Bristol. They also worked with the girls to help them consider the economic, social, and environmental impact this major investment project will have on the city of Bristol.
