Thirsty Thursday is an event aimed at entrepreneurial students and graduates from The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. It's a chance to hear from graduates from the two universities who have started their own business and to network with other enterprising students.
The February 2015 event will feature:
Stephen Jones, The British Quinoa Company

Founded on his family farm in 2011, The British Quinoa Company are now the leading quinoa (a grain analogous to rice) producer in the UK. After just two full years of production, they now supply quinoa grain to companies such as Pret A Manger.
