B4 Mini Mag: Issue 002
Thank you to everyone who fed back so positively about the format of the new Mini Mag after Issue 1’s launch.
It’s clearly a big hit and we’ve even been asked to publish Mini Mags for several B4 Members and organisations who really like this format – so do get in touch if you’d like your very own Mini Mag!
In this issue we talk to Elaine and Gareth from Oxford Innovation about their job swap; we feature our good friends Mantle and COEL in interviews recorded in Cambridge; we hear from My Wardrobe HQ’s founder, Sacha Newall, about the growing trend of hiring clothes; Mike Jennings talks about toxicity; we feature the refurbishment at The Eastgate and focus on green issues and sustainability with Kate, Frank, Alice and Claudia.
Enjoy Issue 2.
