Our second episode follows our previous conversation with Len Maloney and reveals how Len's support has shaped the confidence and skills of Hakeem Saunders, making him the youngest qualified apprentice in his first job after leaving JC Motors. Amidst our conversation on how learning a trade with Len has set Hakeem up for a lifelong career in his dream job, Hakeem and Krissie (EETG Director) also touch on voting in the upcoming London Mayoral election, the Scandinavian educational approach, how car repair is good for the environment and the Notting Hill Carnival!
