On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming MBA students from the Sheffield University Management School! 🤝 Hosted by our current graduates, the afternoon was packed with presentations from experts at Gripple. The students gained valuable insights into our company’s operations, vertical integration model, unique employee ownership approach, and recruitment process. Finishing with a fun and interactive workshop around innovation, the students ignited their creativity and worked together to design a food vessel aimed at specific target markets. 💡 It was incredible to see the enthusiasm from the students, and we hope they left inspired. Thank you to all the students and staff who made this visit memorable! 🫶 #SheffieldMBA #EmployeeOwnership #Innovation #VerticalIntegration
