Shaun Leonard, Sparsholt College

Lecturer Shaun Leonard believes Sparsholt’s standing with students and the industries it serves is largely due to the extensive and unusual experience of its staff - and a ‘competitive corridor’. The teaching team have long years not only with the college but also running their own businesses and working with firms and agencies involved with fish and fishing. The lecturers’ sense of friendly competition ensures they take advantage of regular internal and external training, keeping their knowledge and skills consistently up to date.
