Integrator 2e2 has announced the winners of its Newbury Apprentice 2008 competition to find students to serve on its board of directors this summer.
2e2 indicated it wanted to use the competition to gain an insight into the 'Generation Y' age group and its relationship with technology. The VAR claimed it hopes the input of 19 year old students Gemma Phillips and Jamie King will give it a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The youthful pair will now spend the summer undertaking work experience at the integrator, including the regular attendance of board meetings. 2e2 chief technical officer Nathan Marke said: “We were originally planning to have just one winner for the competition. However, we were so impressed with the high quality of the entrants we found it difficult to choose just one, hence why both Jamie and Gemma have been appointed.
"We are really looking forward to hearing their thoughts and opinions on our approach to this kind of technology during our board meetings. This is the first time we have had somebody not directly involved with 2e2 present at board meetings, never mind from this age group, but we truly believe that a new way of thinking will help us as we develop these new and cutting-edge business technologies. Watch this space!”
