Luke Pottage – Teesside University Graduate
Luke studied at Teesside University, graduated with a first-class honours degree in Business Management in 2018. During his studies, he took an active role in a project with County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service to address the fight for equality that women  are facing in the fire and rescue services industry.

The experiences that Luke gained  throughout this project fuelled his desire to promote equality in whatever way possible.
In 2019, Luke was given the opportunity to return to Teesside University for three months as  a Graduate Intern in the Student Recruitment & Marketing department. In his first week,  Luke met with the CEO of Save The Woman. Following this meeting, Luke helped to organise  the Commonwealth for Africa 2019 event held on the final day of Luke’s internship. Despite  leaving the University, Luke remains in contact with the Save the Woman and is a supporter  of the Teesside African and African Caribbean Network events and what they stand for.
Currently, Luke works in finance in a young, growing company called Para-Sols. Para-Sols’ employees come from a wide variety of backgrounds and are doing their bit to improve the  future of financial services, one step at a time.
