Jacob, who left Princethorpe in 2012 having completed his A-levels, was delighted to learn that his name was drawn from amongst those who signed up to or engaged with Princethorpe Connect between Friday 23 May and Friday 27 June. An indulgent Cream Tea hamper from The Cornish Company was swiftly delivered to his home in Edinburgh the very next day.

Jacob responded, "It was a great surprise to receive a personal call from Caroline Spencer (Alumni Relations) letting me know I’d won the competition – particularly as I’d unwittingly entered it! Since leaving Princethorpe, I moved north of the border to Edinburgh, for university, and haven’t looked back. After graduating, I found myself in the fast-growing world of electric vehicles, first at Tesla and now at a start-up, running the UK’s first fully electric intercity coach service. I’m part of the Hub Development team, leading the growth of our charging infrastructure, which is key to unlocking new routes across the country. Currently, we’re conquering Scotland – but our aspirations are firmly set on expansion well beyond it."

It was great to be able to surprise Jacob and hear what he's been up to. You will have another chance to win some tasty treats in our next Prize Draw - Christmas edition - launching in November, so look out for details on our social media!
