“As expected, the extremely high calibre of staff within Link members made picking a winner among many excellent candidates rather difficult; we could have given out multiple scholarships!

“We know that his exposure within Eden Corporate Travel combined with some targeted mentoring through TIME will set Jack on a course of successful business ownership in the future, something that excites us all,” Darlow said.
