“Build & Conquer worked uniquely with us to design a session that met the needs of our students, including details about Islamic finance. Sharan offered them valuable content that could help shape their life chances. Our staff wish they'd benefitted from Sharan's input on investment when they at school!”

“I recently had the pleasure of attending a finance workshop tailored for young people in Shifnal, and it was an amazing experience. The information presented was not only comprehensive but also highly relevant to our needs. The choice of topics was spot on, covering essential financial concepts in a way that was easy to understand and apply. The level of detail was perfectly pitched, making it accessible without being overwhelming. What stood out the most was the interactive nature of the workshop, encouraging active participation and making the learning process both engaging and enjoyable. Overall, it was a highly informative and enriching experience that I would highly recommend to others.”

“I would book Build & Conquer again, the workshop exceeded my expectations as I thought finance would disengage our young people. Instead, they were asking questions and said they enjoyed learning about finance! This is a valuable information and tools that everyone should know about.”

“The recent bespoke ‘Money Journey’ workshops for learners in years 7, 8, and 9 were an outstanding success, providing invaluable insights into personal finance. These interactive sessions covered essential topics such as understanding finances in their everyday life, equipping them with practical knowledge that is crucial for managing their future finances. The feedback from learners was overwhelmingly positive. Many learners expressed surprise at how much they didn’t know prior to the workshops and appreciated the relevance of the topics discussed.”

“The session was excellent, it was knowledgeable, age appropriate, interesting and engaging. Simply outstanding in all areas. Being a teacher of business, we’ll definitely be booking again! Financial education is so important and the areas that were covered in the session are not taught within the curriculum. Sharan made it look too easy even with a room full of 65+ students!”

“The workshop was run very well, it was age appropriate and informative! The students were engaged and interested during the workshop. Build & Conquer provided valuable financial knowledge beyond what is taught in schools already. The materials that were provided were great too!
